>The ONLY issue in this entire debate is whether the appropriate time to contest what a homeowner believes to be an illegal search is at 3:00 AM with guns drawn, or later, in court, when everyone is awake, sober, rested and reasoned.
If that is the case; then why should the law provide protection to someone who is making an ILLEGAL entry into your home, threatening you with force (government *is* force), and claiming to be an agent of the law acting lawfully?
No; what this does is, effectively, make a protected class of citizen. You are free to protect yourself, even with lethal force [in Indiana], from illegal entry. This decision, however, specifically said that there is no right to resist a *Law Enforcement Officer’s* illegal entry; there is one, and only one, distinction in this situation: being an agent of the government. Therefore, it is patently obvious that this decision creates a special, protected class of person.
Hate crime victims, Affirmative Action qualifiers, Food Stamp recipients, Veterans, the elderly, the underage, the poor, the infirm, in-state residents, etc.
The list is endless.
