July 4, 201313 yr Do we have to let police use our house if they deem it necessary? https://www.courthousenews.com/2013/07/03/59061.htm
July 4, 201313 yr I'd be interested ti see how this turns out. I think they have a case, but I don't know about a 3rd Amendment violation since the 3rd prevents quartering "solders" and this is a police department.
July 4, 201313 yr Author Is the thread title a serious question? Maybe not the best title but... Is it a 3rd amendment violation?
July 4, 201313 yr Yes. That is way over the line. The officers should be facing criminal, as well as civil charges. I hope they win a huge settlement.
July 4, 201313 yr I would like to know more about exactly what criminal was going on in the neighborhood that made the police believe they needed to force entry into neighboring houses. However, based on what I read in that article I think heads should roll at the PD and the check should have a lot of zeros at the end.
July 4, 201313 yr Author Yes. That is way over the line. The officers should be facing criminal, as well as civil charges. I hope they win a huge settlement. I guess I'm asking what would the criminal complaint say? Constitutional violation? Specific law?
July 4, 201313 yr Maybe not the best title but... Is it a 3rd amendment violation? How in the world can any of that be legal?
July 4, 201313 yr I guess I'm asking what would the criminal complaint say? Constitutional violation? Specific law? Only being a little silly here, 1st Degree Burglary for starters. And I would want to look at all statues state and Federal for using of firearms in the commission of a felony.
July 4, 201313 yr Author How in the world can any of that be legal? That's exactly what I say about police setting up checkpoints. How in the world can that be legal?
July 4, 201313 yr Author Only being a little silly here, 1st Degree Burglary for starters. And I would want to look at all statues state and Federal for using of firearms in the commission of a felony. Does burglary require something to be stolen or attempted to be stolen?
July 4, 201313 yr That's exactly what I say about police setting up checkpoints. How in the world can that be legal? Not even close to the same IMO.
July 4, 201313 yr Does burglary require something to be stolen or attempted to be stolen? No, only with intent to commit a crime. They forced entry illegally and committed assault. Maybe theft too. And they did an illegal search it sounds like. Multiple possible crimes.
July 4, 201313 yr Author No, only with intent to commit a crime. They forced entry illegally and committed assault. Maybe theft too. And they did an illegal search it sounds like. Multiple possible crimes. Do you know of ANY cases where a citizen was required to help the police when the citizen was completely innocent and not involved?
