People of Indiana had thought that they had heard the worst from the police state when the Indiana Supreme Court informed the Hoosier state on May 10, 2011, that police serving a warrant may enter a home without knocking or identifying themselves.

Indiana Says Goodbye To The Fourth Amendment
Boy oh boy citizens you are going to love this.
In a 3-2 decision handed down May 13, 2011 by the Indiana Supreme Court, Justice Steven David, speaking for the court, proclaimed that in the state of Indiana if a police officer wants to enter a home for any reason, or no reason at all, a home owner cannot do anything to block the officer's entry.
Justices Robert Rucker and Brent Dickson dissented.
"In my view the majority sweeps with far too broad a brush by essentially telling Indiana citizens that government agents may now enter their homes illegally..." said Rucker. YA THINK!
Sharky&Sharky want to know where the people who spout the non-sensical "If you haven't done anything wrong you have nothing to worry about" argument stand on this one.

Good God America, you are evaporating before our very eyes.

UPDATE 5/17/11
In a ruling just handed down by SCOTUS the court ruled that police in Kentucky were within the law after breaking down a man's apartment door because they "smelled" burning marijuana and "heard" what they thought was the sound of evidence being destroyed. No search warrant required.
Soon the sound of a crying baby will be sufficient to break down your door for suspected child abuse.
Goodbye Land Of The Free!
