You're not listening Gimpy. Nobody here is advocating shooting at the police.

The problem twofold.

First is if the cops do not announce their presence when then they put themselves in a position of being shot at by a homeowner who does not know they are the police.

Secondly is the constitutional issue which cannot be bypassed unless in the most dire and immediate of circumstances, like someone is being assaulted or murdered and breaking in is the only way to stop it.

All other situations need a judges permission. That's the law. End of story.
