Relentless Lawlessness

The Indiana Supreme Court ruled recently that police can enter any home at any time for any reason, even unlawfully, and cannot be lawfully resisted.  Ignoring the fact that this wholesale acceptance of police misconduct is violence, the Supreme Court said the reason is to reduce violence.

Your remedy is the court system after the fact.  A common police saying is "you can beat the rap but you cannot beat the ride..." meaning your false arrest will be vacated but the process of booking, fingerprinting, jailing, court appearance, hiring a lawyer and so on will happen no mater what.  Indecency is expanding faster than anyone can manage to resist in USA.

The judges flatter themselves when they imagine the process is a minor inconvenience.

People feel safe because there is no Adolf Hitler on the horizon.  But the question is not is so-and-so any different than Adolf Hitler, the question is are the American people any different than the German people.
