SCOTUS Strikes Down Biden-Backed Police Firearm Seizure Case
Trending Politics ^ | 17 may 21 | Kyle Becker

The Supreme Court has dealt the Biden administration a defeat on a “caretaking” case. The case tested whether or not police could enter private property without a warrant if an individual was believed to pose a threat to himself or others.

In the case Caniglia v. Strom, the Supreme Court ruled that “caretaking” did not justify entering a man’s home to remove firearms because he was believed to have expressed suicidal thoughts. The man was taken to a local mental health facility for psychiatric evaluation.

“Police entered the home under a ‘community caretaking’ exception that allows entry in cases where doing so benefits the public interest, which has traditionally applied to incidents regarding vehicles but not in homes,” Forbes reported.

Why would they trade off to make a decision unanimous? I would think a trade off would be useful in a close case.

That struck me as really unusual. They must have traded off on a different case.

Lol...good to see lots of others here are as cynical as I am.

Wanna bet they trade off on a more important 2A case coming up?

I became a lifetime NRA member when Dukasis stated only government should have guns.
The NRA had better people in charge before LaPieere got his grubby fingers into the finances.

Going to support others ,real saddened when JFPO president passed away. Never have understood Jewish voting for socialism since socialists murdered millions.

Pack the courts so that they’ll agree to any damned fool thing that the other two branches dream up.

That bears repeating: “The Supreme Court’s ruling was unanimous.”

Get a search warrant! Hopefully this carries over to all areas where law enforcement and the government should get a search warrant before acting.

So maybe the quaint old Bill of Rights still has some life in it after all.

It's on life support.
