Family allegedly forced from home by police files rare 3rd Amendment suit
Fox News.com ^ | July 8, 2013 | Joseph Weber

A Nevada family is using a rare legal argument in a lawsuit claiming police tried to commandeer their homes for a surveillance operation and then arrested the homeowners for resisting -- invoking the Third Amendment, which bars soldiers from being "quartered" in a residence without permission.

The Mitchell family, in a lawsuit filed July 1, detailed the incident from July 10, 2011. According to the complaint, it all began when the Henderson city police called Anthony Mitchell that morning to say they needed his house to gain “tactical advantage” in a domestic violence investigation in the neighborhood.

The situation turned ugly when Mitchell refused repeated requests to leave and police smashed through the door, the 18-page complaint states.

.>>Can a man be trained to operate a tank in a month?<<

That’s 176 hours of training. Four times what the captain who crashed the 777 at SFO had. Yes, a man be trained to operate a tank in a month.

Almighty God,

We make our earnest prayer that Thou wilt keep the United States in Thy Holy protection; and Thou wilt incline the hearts of the Citizens to cultivate a spirit of subordination and obedience to Government; and entertain a brotherly affection and love for one another and for their fellow Citizens of the United States at large, and particularly for their brethren who have served in the Field.

And finally that Thou wilt most graciously be pleased to dispose us all to do justice, to love mercy, and to demean ourselves with that Charity, humility, and pacific temper of mind which were the Characteristics of the Divine Author of our blessed Religion, and without a humble imitation of whose example in these things we can never hope to be a happy nation. Grant our supplication, we beseech Thee, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

—George Washington

Some laws in Texas are way too “wild west”.

Maybe but I prefer them over any other states laws.

Isn't it a bit late to be closing the barn door?

No, it is not. Not regarding abusive behaviour by armed agents of the state, not regarding border security, not regarding the ongoing slaughter of the unborn ...

These cops needed to be shot when they broke in.

I can’t believe I said that, but they are nothing but home invaders.

Fairly rapidly.

ALL planes are designed to fly straight and level by themselves. All pilots have to do is to deviate from that flight path.

Show up at an RC meet and someone is usually giving lessons.

Once the cops started beating on the guys door you have to believe all that “tactical advantage” with respect to the neighbor went out the window. Sounds like Secret Sam turned the whole thing into a grudge match and at a minimum he’s going to get to fix the guys door, maybe personally, if he was working outside his department’s rules. And you know the cops were videoing the whole thing. This is worse than a “wrong house” incident-—this is intentionally the wrong house.

>" state of Texas law forbids anyone from being compensated for pain and suffering for the killing of a pet. Some laws in Texas are way too “wild west”.

Then the cop wont mind his dog being executed in front of his children.

Yep, 4th 5th and 14th amendents were violated in my opinion.
