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.

Actually, Unlawful Restraint is the actual violation. However, we get the point.
Unacceptable

Wendy, it’s the snowball effect. One turns to many as they see how easily a judge is bought off. Most judges across the Nation think they are untouchable. When the winds of change start, and they will soon enough, they will be the ones that will crawl in a hole and hide like the cowards they are.
Sherrie, it’s not just the cops. It’s mainly the idiotic judge for not looking at the Constitution as it was written. I’m all for Law enforcement, not a dictatorship.
The detention of Mitchell was a seizure, because there was no probable cause to arrest. Entering the home is also a seizure of personal property, without probable cause that a crime was committed.
Charley Friend Me too……And I knew there are a few “bad apples”………..but I still think we don’t have complete data!
Bull$#%&!@*due process
Most Americans would allow police use of their home for the saftey of the neighborhood.
Now that’s a lie. We know the law.
