The Third Amendment was created to protect your home from being quartered by soldiers without your consent. It has very rarely been a matter of debate or litigation, until now.
Federal district court Judge Andrew Gordon ruled that the police are exempt from the 3rd Amendment with a case out of Henderson, Nevada after a family had their home broken into and seized by local law enforcement who stated they needed the home to gain a “tactical advantage” against suspected criminals in a neighboring house.
Police actually forced their way into this family’s home, pepper-balled the father and his dog and then incarcerated the man for a day.

Getting blown up for taking a house would’ve been called for. Especially if paying for the house an getting ran out by lawlessness.
Good luck with that…
Hyperbole. The ruling only addressed the 3rd amendment and was correct in reading the constitution literally. The 3rd only addresses soldiers and makes no allowance for police.
The 4th amendment challenge has not been ruled on. I expect based on this literal reading of the constitution that the judge will rule the police overstepped their authority.
Pigs come to houses? Good I need bacon. But the story related to police officers.
That’s b******t
How wrong can that be.
TALK ABOUT UNCONSTITUTIONAL

WTF
