Indiana Supreme Court Rules That Police Can Enter Anyone's Home Without a Warrant (Littlegreenfootballs.com)

Our WTF story of the day:

> 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."

What the hell is going on in Indiana?
