A Jacksonville homeowner thought she may have been robbed Sunday, but realized instead her home had been altered by a SWAT team.
Deborah Franz was told to leave her home by police during a standoff with her neighbor over the weekend. According to WTEV-TV, Franz overheard loud fighting next door, and then saw SWAT team members swarm the street.
“The cop goes ‘You all need to leave, you can’t be in your house,’” Franz told the station.

“Cops today have zero respect for anyone who isn’t a cop.”
BINGO. We got the cop in this county that killed the father in the Wesley Chapel theatre. Case coming up and I have jury duty coming up too.
When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.....
Frankly, if that were to happen to me, I believe that I’d have a medical episode and drop to the floor.

Great advice...
even when involved in a shooting...at least claim you are under stress but ‘keep your wits about you’ long enough to say “If you are going to read me my rights, you can skip down to the part where you say ‘If you desire a lawyer, one will be provided etc etc’
“Even so, you do NOT have permission to search me or my vehicle and I will option to remain silent until I am properly represented”.
THEN you can go into ‘shock’.
Thank you Officer.
Then take your beating like a man...hopefully recorded etc..
Another part of the Bill of Rights down the toilet.
In reality, I can only think of one thing that would stop things like this from happening...
That is an explicit threat that if you are on that jury, you found him guilty already.
Regardless of what you feel about a case, what you think about the facts of the case as a juror should drive your decision.
Just a thought. . .other may feel differently.
Does the Third Amendment apply to local law enforcement?
Interesting question.
I think the Fourth Amendment has more applicability here.
” family that had their doors knocked down by a local SWAT team serving a search warrant.”
but they love kickin in doors ! It’s fun! Some of them utilize martial arts side kicks , some learned forcible entry while in the Service and this is the only time they get to practice .
and amazingly most folks in the US never take the time to ‘harden their doors’ , so a simple quick ,well placed kick is all it takes . harden your doors folks . Add steel to the entire framework and back up the dead bolts with steel plate , set those hinge inside .
Oh , I forget they can always just bring along a breaching shotgun .
End of this month I am one of just a couple of civilian volunteers to audit a police academy class. The public relations division is asking if we can find others that want to audit other classes. . .they run adverts in the local paper, run spots on the radio. . .hardly anybody asks.
Oh, number 3 is a little odd to me. The police chiefs answer to the City Manager or Mayor. Adding a civilian “chief” would mean the guy would be answering to the same City Manager of Mayor.
Something must change.
Feh...get their names, find their homes. Visit them at night. Some of the founding fathers did such and many problems were solved.
Same here, FRiend.
Yup. I remember that.
THAT was an execution.
They unplugged the TV and game console because they both can be used to see or hear what’s going on in the room.

And there were those on this forum that defended the police for killing him.
I saw some steel doors when I was in Europe which a breaching shotgun would have a hard time with. Wood over steel with multiple bolts.
i’m pretty certain this exact situation is expressly forbidden in the Constitution
assuming anyone bothers to read it anymore
