Rights? What Rights?

As long as you have a badge and a gun in this country (or at least in Indiana), you can do whatever you want.  The Indiana Supreme Court has ruled that citizens no longer have the right to defend themselves against unlawful entry into their home.  The money quote:
"Justice Steven David writing for the court said if a police officer wants to enter a home for any reason or no reason at all, a homeowner cannot do anything to block the officer's entry."
So, a cop can storm into your home for ANY reason and there's nothing you can do about it.  They could be coming to rob you, rape you, plant evidence in your home -- nothing you can do about it.  I thought we were all supposed to be innocent until proven guilty.  This ruling presupposes inherent guilt on the part of all private citizens.  We're not exactly a free country anymore, are we?
