Indiana Governor Daniels recently signed legislation passed by both the state Senate and House providing citizens the "right to resist" unlawful law enforcement entry into the home. Naturally, Indiana law enforcement has been vocal in its opposition to the law. There are several flaws with the law, not the least of which is the potential increase for violence against law enforcement. The creation of this statutory justification leaves the possibility of the type of tragic consequences we have witnessed with similar themed legislation such as Florida's "stand your ground" law.
