What constitues an unlawful entry? Who decides it's unlawful?

Busting down the door without probable cause and no warrant. Having a warrant on 123 Main Street but actually raiding 124 Main Street.

This was a response to an Indiana Judge who said citizens have no recourse if police entered a house unlawfully.

Fuck the police.

Also, Indiana is home to Gary. We'll see how long this stays afloat. And if it works, good on em, I support it.

Ok but let's say I'm some backwoods redneck who shoots first and asks questions later. 2 officers could be dead cause of a wrong address, which is a super easy mistake.

Well, that should mean the cops should be making doubly sure that they have the address correct. And in the days of Google maps and GPS, getting the house number right should be trivial.

I'll put it to you this way. I'm a law-abiding citizen and a gun owner. If I'm in bed at 3am and hear my door getting knocked down, I'm grabbing my rifle and shooting at whoever comes through it. I have no reason to expect police to come into my home. ESPECIALLY when there are cases of criminals posing as police officers in order to break into homes. Just go to Galls.com, you can buy everything you need to impersonate a police officer. You can even buy body armor.

No.  If you've ever kicked in a door, it's your job to make sure IT'S NOT A FUCKING MISTAKE.  Why?  Because you're ready to KILL everyone on the other side of that door if you need to.  If you're going to end someone and everyone with them, you fucking take that tactical pause to make sure you're hitting the right goddamned spot.  

EDIT: Dtrain, you know, I live < .5 miles away from the Galls HQ.  Also with you all the way, if you're through my door, you're shot.

It's not.  You remember Sneak and Peek Warrants? (don't worry Azure, you probably don't have these) I always wondered what would happen when a federal agent was fucking shot carrying out a legal search under the Patriot Act by a homeowner who caught him in the act.  There's an innate conflict there with castle doctrine, which is also supported by law in a lot of states. 

"I thought he was robbing the place, he had a gun, I felt threatened so I shot him in the face" 

You can't legally kill federal officers.  You can legally kill people threatening your life or property.  Is it OK if the cop goes for his gun before his badge to shoot him?  I know which one I would go for first.  Which one wins?  This shouldn't be ambiguous; if you're on my property, and I don't know about it, you're in the wrong.  That's part of what America is all about; "This is fucking mine. Not yours.  Mine.  I worked for it, I own it, you do not.  If you try to take it, I will fight for it."

Sorry, I was just complaining about how crazy we, as a society/culture/species are/is.  It's just so depressing to have to read about people killing each other over nothing.  I need to draw into my isolation from the rest of the world more, apparently :-\

but yeah, I have seen those vids of people using bump keys, and i've seen what very large, very drunk assholes can do to doors in my building...

humans are not smart enough to live in large groups of unequal wealth distribution

this is why we have laws

unfortunately the laws are still made by not smart humans

Here's the best way to put it: like I said before, this law was in direct response to a decision made by an Indiana judge. Until this law is passed, a cop can break down your door, shoot your dog, and rape you. But if you try to resist, you will either get shot or go to prison. That is how screwed up the court decision was.

Now you said that you don't think it should be legal to kill someone to protect property and I understand where you're coming from.

However here's the problem with that. If someone has broken into my home and is robbing me, I don't have the luxury of assuming that he's just there to take my stuff. A criminal doesn't want to go to prison. If I'm a witness, he may want to get rid of me. Maybe he wants to have a little fun on the side and rape my wife. As a husband, I'm going to assume the worst and act accordingly.

And people wonder why the US has the highest crime and murder rates out of any developed or first-world nation.

Total lack of metric system.
