Ind. Law - "No knock" searches v. Indiana's "castle" law
The Fort Wayne Journal Gazette had an interesting editorial Wed., Une 21st that began:
It seems likely that the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision allowing the justice system to use evidence seized in illegal “no knock” searches will get someone killed someday – and it could easily be a police officer.A ruling that appears to encourage police to force their way into a home without announcing themselves is on a collision course with Indiana’s recently amended “castle” law, which allows residents to use lethal force to prevent someone from entering their home.
