The Indianapolis Supreme Court says the "right to resist an unlawful police entry into a home is against public policy and is incompatible with modern Fourth Amendment jurisprudence" (http://www.nwitimes.com/news/local/govt-and-politics/article_ec169697-a19e-525f-a532-81b3df229697.html)
Yup, the bill of rights is so old it needs a modern interpretation - you can no longer resist an *unlawful* police entry. Cops can enter your home at will, with or without a reason and you can't resist.
Of course, the judges were split 3-2. One dissenting judge said, "The wholesale abrogation of the historic right of a person to reasonably resist unlawful police entry into his dwelling is unwarranted and unnecessarily broad."
