Your wife or child calls the cops ~ you shoot them because they didn't come with a warrant.

I"d suspect that's not a hypothetical with you.

No, that would be the "fairy tale."

Does the law say cops can’t come without a warrant or does it say homeowner/resident can use force to stop unlawful entry by cop [or anyone?]

I don’t understand the disconnect. I think everyone would agree that we need some restraint on the unlawful tactics used by LE in crashing down doors of the wrong house and not being accountable.

What makes you think this law will prevent officers from showing up when they’re called for help - that’s not an illegal entry.

If they break in from unlawful entry then yes. They would not get shot for a misunderstanding though.

Yes, that is a hypothetical, and a stupid one. This is about unlawful entry, not unwarranted enty. All the cops would have to do is prove exigent circumstances. They do so now, ridiculously, by arguing they had to knock down the door so as to stop evidence from being destroyed. Certainly they’d have no compunction about arguing someone’s life was in danger.

Judges would still give them the benefit of the doubt, being fellow members of the government club, just as they do with everything from shootings to traffic tickets. Just as, also, they almost certainly will with every type of potentially unlawful entry to pop up under this law.

It's not a hypothetical. Why are you acting like a hysterical Liberal on this thread? Do you have police in your family? Is that why?
