STATE OF THE STATEHOUSE: Other remedies exist if officer enters home illegally :: 06/14/2011
INDIANAPOLIS - One of the more curious things going on in the Indiana Statehouse these days is the decision by some lawmakers to second-guess a controversial decision by the state's judicial branch of government. This past week, 71 members of the Indiana General Assembly filed a petition asking the Indiana Supreme Court to reconsider its ruling that citizens don't have the right to resist police officers who enter their homes illegally. Rallied by a Republican state Sen. Mike Young of Indianapolis, the petitioning lawmakers made the move after their legislative leaders created a summer study committee to determine if the Indiana General Assembly has the power to neutralize the court decision with a new state law.
