Fourth Amendment
It is just soooo lovely that the (Corporate) U.S. Socialist Supreme Courts (OPINION) in itself VIOLATES the Fourth Amd. Exactly WHERE in the Constitution does it mandate any "exceptions"? When a Citizen clearly utilizes his 4th amd. right, and demands a 'search warrant' he is told ya ya ya! whatever! "we are allowed to ignore you" because.

This just proves once again that it is time for John Paul to retire. The crime was pointing a rifle at the responding officers, how were they supposed to know if there was another injured party in the residence. Not a fly speck on a pimple, professor, get into the real world.

My question is, why is Jeremy Fisher still alive? "Police forced the door open only to find Fisher pointing a rifle at him?" I'd say he should be counting his blessings not attempting to file a suit stating his civil rights were violated!

Michigan v. Jeremy Fisher
The only thing that male subject need do is to get down on his knees and thank his maker that he is alive to take his case through the justice system all the way to the Supreme Court. His breathing privilege could have easily been revoked all due to pointing a firearam, namely a rifle, at a police officer. That can be the cause of a very tragic ending to an event like this.

Officers had a gut feeling.....found evidence to support that gut feeling......Lawyers and Judges spend months disecting the event after the fact and coming to the truth of the matter.

If these dang good officers had just walked away and this guy had hurt himself or someone else....These same critics would be the first ones to say "Those neglectful officers...given the evidence available at the time...should have gone in."

Geesh....Doesnt' the test ask for what the reasonable officer is thinking, experiencing and perceiving at that given point in time s/he takes action?????? Not the unknown reality of the situation determined months later.

The crime involved was a perp pointing a gun at a cop doing his job. The court used to support an officer who was put in jeopardy, but it is obviously time for John Paul to retire and joiin the real world. And guess who was the other learned justice that joined him in this travesty, none other than the newest member of bench, that former prosecutor and law and order judge, Sonja Sotomeyer. Did you ever have any doubt why Barry picked her for the bench. Ayers might have been less liberal.

"Words Of Art" It is obvious you aren't an officer who's job it is to respond to these kind of situations.
