I think most everyone with any sense will resist anything even coming close to this... Be some dead cops, or maybe they weren't really cops, in any case, lots of folks with heavy hardware handy can give a good showing...

And if it ever became standard, it might change construction options... Multilayer steel entryways might have a market! Spikes, deadfalls, trap doors, what business is it of anyone but the homeowner? Safe Rooms will be on the rise again in a Police State!

This idiocy will be tossed out on the first challenge... What $20/hour Cop is going to put his life and future on the line to be the first test case?

INDIANAPOLIS - Overturning a common law dating back to the English Magna Carta of 1215, the Indiana Supreme Court ruled Thursday that Hoosiers have no right to resist unlawful police entry into their homes.

In a 3-2 decision, Justice Steven David writing for the court said if a police officer wants to enter a home for any reason or no reason at all, a homeowner cannot do anything to block the officer's entry.

"We believe ... a right to resist an unlawful police entry into a home is against public policy and is incompatible with modern Fourth Amendment jurisprudence," David said. "We also find that allowing resistance unnecessarily escalates the level of violence and therefore the risk of injuries to all parties involved without preventing the arrest."

David said a person arrested following an unlawful entry by police still can be released on bail and has plenty of opportunities to protest the illegal entry through the court system...
