The U.S. Supreme Court has just green-lit law enforcement officers to enter American homes without a warrant.
At least there was some dissent; Justice Alito wrote about the 6-3 decision that, “When occupants of a residence disagree on whether they will admit police without a warrant, the objecting occupant must be physically present. That doesn’t change if police have removed the objector…”
Just turn that over in your mind for a moment and you can start to see how truly dangerous a precedent that is!
Read page 2 for background on the case and ruling:
The Supreme Court is archaic! Allowing nine individuals to decide constitutional issues is ridiculous. The Bill of Rights is set in stone and should never be circumvented. The police in this country have given themselves more power than they truely have. We wonder why they are being treated badly. Take a guess.
When will the sheep finally understand that the greatest enemy of this great country are those who desire authority over others? Government unchained by the Constitution will destroy us.
you better knock first
Dear Writer, the word you were looking for was “residence” not residents. Spellcheck will not help you when you use the wrong word.
Gonna be some dead cops soon for the nightly news with this.
the men of the supreme court have been bought…
What about due process of law? This is treason; impeach them!
One more small erosion of our freedoms,. One more giant loophole for police to take our liberties….smdh at these sorry excuses for politicians and judges…
Have a care who lives with you, or could legally be considered so…
This doesn’t change anything. All it says is that the (adult) resident of a home who is physically there may grant permission to search. If there are two residents at home and one of them says no, they still can’t search without a warrant even if the other one says yes.
