So, if the cops knock first, then it's okay to enter your house? lol.

So Nash, did leave out the part about the warrant for a reason or did you just not catch that part?



I don't agree with the ruling, but not having to knock if they have a warrant is way not the same as cops being able to walk in anytime.




And you claim libs don't use scare tactics

Warrant or not, if you blow away one or more cops searching your home, legally or not, you will also manage to commit suicide by wrestling one of the officers' handgun from him and shooting yourself in the head, twice, while handcuffed. This will be witnessed by 4 or more officers, who deeply regret not being able to intervene in your tragic suicide.

One should always be careful about who they shoot at. Chances are real good that if a bunch of armed men break into your house you're going to get shot if you start shooting at them, cops or not.

Cant we just shoot Nash instead?

LOL!

I'll be damned if I'll let some armed thug get the advantage by shouting 'police, we have a warrant!' while they break my door in. Every armed home invader uses that ruse.

The authorties want in? They can knock, and wait on the doorstep till I answer the door and present thier credentials when I ask for them and state thier business.

Any unannounced 'attack' on a citizen by the authorities should be met with maximum resistance. Every time.

How much difference does a 1/4 second warning shout actually make?

"Actually Mr. Smith, it's us, the police... Wake up, we're searching your home."

Conservative Supreme Court Justices Scalia, Roberts, Kennedy, Thomas, and (providing the deciding vote) Alito just got done nixing the law that the police have to knock before entering your home.

A simple question:

Is it okay to kill a cop?

When an intruder enters onto your private property in the dead of night, and you excercise your right to blow said intruder away from the corner of a darkened hallway.... what happens when that intruder turns out to be a member of your local law enforcement? My money is on that property owner getting 20 to life.

Question: Where do the government's rights end, and where do yours begin?

This question goes out to the merry few who happily cheerlead the steady march to fascism whilst sneering at the notion of big government.

Let it go, man. Liberal foriegners are not allowed to make valid points for gun-totin' conservatives.

Chief To Issue Apology After Police Raid Wrong Home

From: NewsChannel5.com, TN - Sep 13, 2004

The Clarksville Police chief says an apology is on the way for Friday night's drug raid at a wrong address.

A couple in their 50's was taken by surprise when the city's tactical SWAT team broke through their front door to serve a search warrant.

The warrant, according to police, contained incorrect information identifying the house.

"The authorties want in? They can knock, and wait on the doorstep till I answer the door and present thier credentials when I ask for them and state thier business."


So when you're having a heart attack and dial 911 for help but collapse, you want the authorities to wait outside until you answer the door for them, right?

So Algorithm,

Is it your position that none of this would have happened if there was a requirement for the police to announce themselves?

Wait there was...

So I ask again, how much difference does it make if they say, "Open up Police!" count one - two then break down the door?
