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.

Wasn’t that covered in the amendments? Yes I suck at memory but I’m old, like the 4th or 6th, quartering of troops?
I get what you’re saying…and I definitely back the blue as I have family in LEBANON. But you’re not just gonna kick in my door and take over my house. I am a law abiding citizen, and expect the police to abide by the same laws. Kick in my door without talking to me first and you run the risk of me confronting you in a very negative way. That being said, if I can help, I will…but my property will not be seized because they think they can for any reason…
No quarter
I hope they line up like that for me. Save me bullets.
Fascist judge needs to read the constitution
Well, as much as I want to stand by the police and help them in any manner possible. If I decide for whatever reason that I don’t want them in my house, and If they find it necessary to break my 3rd amendment rights and bust down my door… I will die before I kneel. This falls under the slippery slope of becoming a communist government.
3rd amendment…. Read it
Unconstitutional
It wouldn’t end well for you either though.
Maybe not !! I would rather die protecting my family than as oppose doing nothing and die anyways
