On the heels of a 3-2 decision by the Indiana Supreme Court to disallow resistance to police searches<\/a> of residents’ homes, an Indiana sheriff has decided that he has the authority to conduct random house-to-house searches. Not only that, but he thinks people will welcome a clear violation of their Fourth Amendments rights<\/a>;<\/p>\n

When asked three separate times due to the astounding callousness as it relates to trampling the inherent natural rights of Americans, [Newton County Sheriff, Don Hartman Sr.<\/a>] emphatically indicated that he would use random house to house checks, adding he felt people will welcome random searches if it means capturing a criminal.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Let’s review the Fourth Amendment<\/a>;<\/p>\n

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated; and no Warrants shall issue but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

What is it with these people who don’t understand those two pesky words “shall not” which keep cropping up in the Bill of Rights?<\/p>\n

In his dissenting opinion of the Indiana Supreme court ruling, Justice Robert Rucker predicted, correctly, it seems;<\/p>\n

In my view, the majority sweeps with far too broad a brush by essentially telling Indiana citizens that government agents may now enter their homes illegally — that is, without the necessity of a warrant, consent or exigent circumstances.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Not only that, apparently, government agents think that they have been given a green light by the people to kick down doors looking for a crime that the police are not even sure has been committed yet. If you click on Sheriff Hartman’s name in the first quote, the link takes you to his department’s website.<\/p>\n

I guess “protect and serve” is just another nice-sounding slogan.<\/p>\n
