4th Amendment could cost Indiana Supreme Court Big...

The Indiana Supreme Court has ruled that people cannot keep police from entering their homes, even if the entry is "unlawful."  This is in direct violation of the US Constitution 4th amendment. 

In a 3-2 decision, the court held there are valid reasons for police officers to enter homes without a warrant and without knocking , including concerns for an officer's safety or that a suspect may escape or that evidence may be destroyed.
Instead of making a law that gave them permission according to a few reasons, they wiped out the constitution. 
We will be watching as this plays out in the political arenas.
