SUBSIM Radio Room Forums - View Single Post - Indiana Court rules that defending your home against illegal police entry is illegal

The issue is not defending against a police officer, but the fear of bodily harm to you or your family. If I'm innocent and wake up half asleep and hear someone beating down my door or walking through my home, that's a problem. That's why police need just cause..Believe me when a criminal hears the door being caved in and the word police, he knows what's happening, innocent people would have cause for suspect. One of the biggest scams of crooks is acting police.

Mistakes happen, but proper codes, warrants, etc, before entering homes. If not, watch how many police officers and home owners start getting shot.

In NC you can shoot someone if they break into your home and you feel threatened. The key is to say your threatened. In every case I've read, the fact someone entered your home implied enough threat. Now, we have had a few dumbarses goof things up for themselves..

Someone enters my home day or night, my family is here they're gonna get shot be damned. Now, if it was so obvious I could stop it without, sure, but if I feel the least threat of harm could be done to my wife or kids, I would..

Heck, my grandmother killed her husbands best friend in the 30's and shot him..They were supposed to be out of town, but came in late and were sneaking the car out of the barn pushing it down the road...she thought it was being stolen. They gave the guy a funeral, filed a report with the local Sheriff and that was it.
