LANSING, Mich. -

The Michigan Supreme Court says people can resist police officers who unlawfully enter their homes.

In a 5-2 decision, the court ordered that charges be dropped against Angel Moreno Junior, a western Michigan man who was accused of obstructing officers at his home in Holland. The officers were looking for someone and tried to enter the home without a warrant.

Lower courts had upheld charges of resisting police, based on a 2004 Supreme Court decision, but justices on Friday said that case was wrongly decided.

The opinion was written by Justice Diane Hathaway. She and two other Democrats on the court were joined by two Republican justices, a rare alliance.

The dissenters were Republican justices Stephen Markman and Robert Young Junior.


Which is, as it should be - once a cop steps that far outside their authority, they should not, MUST not, be regarded as an enforcer of the law, but as what that then makes them.
A thug with a gun, an armed intruder - cause the whole of their authority in the first damn place rests on compliance with the law and due process, thus giving them leave to abandon it is a bad, bad idea.

I just hope that maybe, MAYBE, this'll put a check on the abuses before anyone gets hurt.

It's too bad that this ruling won't stop them from mocking up fake warrants and comes too late to help that poor girl. :(

But, it's a start.

Hopefully this will help, because if they force their way in without a warrant, not according to proper procedure they do turn into a thug with a gun as Frem says and thus they are forfit if you feel threatened.

I assume you're my pal until you let me know otherwise.
