Police State Increasing, Part 2

I am at a loss of words for this one: http://tinyurl.com/3pox6gs


INDIANAPOLIS -- People have no right to resist if police officers
illegally enter their home, the Indiana Supreme Court ruled in a
decision that overturns centuries of common law.

The court issued its 3-2 ruling on Thursday, contending that allowing
residents to resist officers who enter their homes without any right
would increase the risk of violent confrontation. If police enter a
home illegally, the courts are the proper place to protest it, Justice
Steven David said.

"We believe ... a right to resist an unlawful police entry into a home
is against public policy and is incompatible with modern Fourth
Amendment jurisprudence," David said. "We also find that allowing
resistance unnecessarily escalates the level of violence and therefore
the risk of injuries to all parties involved without preventing the
arrest."

Justices Robert Rucker and Brent Dickson strongly dissented, saying
the ruling runs afoul of the U.S. Constitution's Fourth Amendment
against unreasonable search and seizure, The Times of Munster
reported.


Wow.
How many public conservatives have said anything about this one?

In the book, "The New Jim Crow," the author draws a timeline of court decisions since the initiation of the war on drugs that have essentially foreclosed on the rights of citizens against police actions. The ability of local LE agencies to seize property has become a revenue source for cash-strapped cities and counties.
