Indiana Passes Law Authorizing "Reasonable Force" Against "Public Servants" During "Unlawful Entries".

<a href="http://thefreethoughtproject.com/state-passes-law-legalize-self-defense-police/">This ought to tighten up a few assholes</a>.<br />Mainly the the ones with badges.<br /><br /><br />I put those words in the title in quotes for a reason.<br />Reasonable force can and has included deadly force.<br />I'm no damn lawyer so I'm not going to try and put any spin on what the law actually says.<br /><br />Maybe, just maybe though, there will be a bit more attention paid to details such as making damn sure they have the right address before the SWAT team goes around kicking doors down and shooting anything that moves.<br /><br />I think we can all agree that's a good thing.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.in.gov/legislative/bills/2012/SE/SE0001.1.html">The law states:</a><br /><br /><blockquote>(i) A person is justified in using reasonable force against a public servant if the person reasonably believes the force is necessary to:<br />(1) protect the person or a third person from what the person reasonably believes to be the imminent use of unlawful force;<br />(2) prevent or terminate the public servant’s unlawful entry of or attack on the person’s dwelling, curtilage, or occupied motor vehicle; or<br />(3) prevent or terminate the public servant’s unlawful trespass on or criminal interference with property lawfully in the person’s possession, lawfully in possession of a member of the person’s immediate family, or belonging to a person whose property the person has authority to protect.<br /></blockquote><br /><br />Cue the plaintive wailing of the Door Kickers and Dog Shooters Association;<br /><br /><blockquote>“If I pull over a car and I walk up to it and the guy shoots me, he’s going to say, ‘Well, he was trying to illegally enter my property,’ ” said Joseph Hubbard, 40, president of Jeffersonville Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 100. “Somebody is going get away with killing a cop because of this law.”</blockquote><br />Gee, don't ya just hate it when you have to start acting in a professional manner and like, follow the laws all of a sudden after you are so used to just kicking ass and taking names later with zero worries about consequences?<br /><br />Cry me a river.<br /><br />I believe this should slam the brakes on a whole bunch of the run away ,out of control police behavior we have been seeing on the increase the last few years.<br /><br /><br /><blockquote><b>An armed society is a polite society. Manners are good when one may have to back up his acts with his life.<br /><br />Robert A. Heinlein<br /></b></blockquote><br />
