Indiana Law: Citizens Now Allowed to Shoot Law Enforcement During Unlawful Entry

A new law in Indiana authorizes the general public to use deadly force against public servants (including law enforcement officers) who unlawfully enter private property.
The measure, approved by Gov. Mitch Daniels in March, (who himself is a Bilderberg member, making the situation even more interesting) is a real game changer as the script has been flipped on the police when it comes to deadly force.
A Bloomberg excerpt reads;
The measure was approved by the Republican-controlled Legislature and signed by Republican Governor Mitch Daniels in March. It amended a 2006 so-called Castle Doctrine bill that allows deadly force to stop illegal entry into a home or car.
The law describes the ability to use force to “protect the person or a third person from what the person reasonably believes to be the imminent use of unlawful force.”
Republican state Senator R. Michael Young, the bill’s author, said there haven’t been any cases in which suspects have used the law to justify shooting police….
…. The measure requires those using force to “reasonably believe” a law-enforcement officer is acting illegally and that it’s needed to prevent “serious bodily injury,” Daniels said in a statement when he signed the law.
“In the real world, there will almost never be a situation in which these extremely narrow conditions are met,” Daniels said. “This law is not an invitation to use violence or force against law enforcement officers.”
This law has been backed by the NRA and some feel as if this will turn the police state into a straight out war zone.
RT reported:
Under the latest changes of the so-called Castle Doctrine, state lawmakers agree “people have a right to defend themselves and third parties from physical harm and crime.”
Rather than excluding officers of the law, however, any public servant is now subject to be met with deadly force if they unlawfully enter private property without clear justification.
“In enacting this section, the general assembly finds and declares that it is the policy of this state to recognize the unique character of a citizen’s home and to ensure that a citizen feels secure in his or her own home against unlawful intrusion by another individual or a public servant,” reads the legislation.
Although critics have been quick to condemn the law for opening the door for assaults on police officers, supporters say that it is necessary to implement the ideals brought by America’s forefathers.
Especially, argue some, since the Indiana Supreme Court almost eliminated the Fourth Amendment entirely last year.
During the 2011 case of Barnes v. State of Indiana, the court ruled that a man who assaulted an officer dispatched to his house had broken the law before there was “no right to reasonably resist unlawful entry by police officers.”
In turn, the National Rifle Association lobbied for an amendment to the Castle Doctrine to ensure that residents were protected from officers that abuse the law to grant themselves entry into private space.

OMG! Protecting your HOME against illegal invaders???? What e novel concept!
GOOOooooo Indi!
Do you mean to tell me that the cops (government) are not above the law in regards to the 4th amendment? what a concept!
I don’t know much about this Mitch Daniels but this sounds like a plan to give the cops in Indiana a free ticket to kill any person that may resemble the person who kills the first cop under this “Law”. Some other driving force is behind this besides the Constitution, Agenda 21? Obama’s Martial Law plan? We shall see!
Couple days ago, I read a WRH article posted that a by-law weed inspector entered a woman’s bedroom to serve a ticket on the sleeping woman. I wish such a law was available in canada–in Mississauga Ontario canada–a building inspector can enter in any home or property without a warrant or premission from the owner. In 2010, a young man was chased due to a traffic violation. Cops came to the father’s property. Dad said his son was not here–Cops were refused and they shot him in front of his wife dead. Here in Toronto, cops get charged for such crimes and the media never follows–rarely a cop losses his job–well off on suspension–they get full pay and benefits,after 3 years in courts–dismissed due to long time for trials :^(
one of the best laws ever passed.there will be a lot of cops eating dirt
webly, the LEOs already have that right under those circumstances, as do you–its called self defense.
Try hard not to think of cops as somehow not human.
Easier to think of cops as human if they behaved like it.

I’ll bet the Blue Gang is not very happy about that!!

When police start demonstrating respect for the Constitution and the citizenry then perhaps legislation like this will not be necessary. They are out of control and need to be reigned in by something, and if the threat of being shot for criminal activity does it then this is a good start. They have a tough job to do but this is not license to run roughshod over anything and everything that they deem in their way.
This will not have ANY effect on a GOOD cop whose got a warrant and serves it properly, or has solid probable cause.
Only bad cops, the heavy-handed, arrogant gestapo types are at risk.
I don’t see a problem with that.

“people have a right to defend themselves and third parties from physical harm and crime.”
You’re god damned right we do. The right to defending myself and others is first and foremost, if the ‘perp’ is wearing a badge or not, I don’t care.
Things are going to get real in a hurry when a cop gets shot serving an UNSIGNED no-knock warrant and this is used as defense for murder charges.
The state is going to be put in a very tough place having to acknowledge the UNSIGNED warrant or a warrant that is not accompanied with a signed affidavit making the intrusion both illegal and unlawful-BUT trudging ahead with the malicious prosecution for murder as now EVERY warrant served without the benefit of inspection becomes reasonable to believe there is no valid warrant and may be arrested.
This all could have been avoided if “law enforcement” officer served warrants in a proper fashion.
Knock…Knock…Knock Hello Sir/Maam I am here serving a warrants-hands warrant steps back allow ample time for its inspection-responds to any & all questions and conducts self in a profession manner-far to much to ask of any thug brute enforcer.

EXACTLY!
That’s the way to serve a warrant. When did all this search and destroy bullshit creep in, anyway?
It’s a disgrace.

The “search and destroy bullshit” you refer to can be blamed on the fascist Mormon Daryl Gates of the Los Angeles police department. He created the first S.W.A.T. team in 1968 on the premise that the police should conduct themselves as a para-military group instead of citizen police officers. The ridiculous freedom-hating, anti-Constitutional concept spread rapidly to other cities. The militarization of the American police force has been expanding ever since. Daryl Gates ranks up there (or down there) in history along with other dictatorial assholes such as Hitler and Stalin. Spit on his grave if you ever get the chance.
Thank you for the info, now going into search mode.
why should we worry bout sad arabia..in insulting them, hurting their feelings, wtf is that all about…
easy, we have already been bought and paid for……we are in the pan of water with the frog and the heats going to be turned up…done..
any country resisting islam will be brought under a police state… and thats US
They are NOT telling you that police departments across the country are hiring felons, gang bangers, Mafia, druggies and other less than honest personnel simply because “They Know the Streets” and they are being protected to protect this secret and if the general population learned this secret they would lose all credibility in the public’s eye.
Who knows, maybe Indiana figured out this was a bad idea and now this is their back door to purging the criminals from their rolls.
I think the builderburgers would love patriots to engage in a war with the police. That would fit right in to their agenda getting us to fight amoung ourselves not all cops are bad (against constition and bill of rights)what worrys me is all the un trained un educated minions they are inserting into the police ranks to stir up this very senario,inject fear into us divide us get us to kill each other.Instead of killing cops, get to know them start at local level most of them are your neighbors and friends and they fell as you do. You dont need a law to protect yourself from illegal searches or seisures that is an inalienable right,god given law exercised on a per situational basis with gun,knife,club,rock or fist.I submitt to you this indiana law was designed to start and for a better word ill call it crap as i feel it is.
