The only pretext a SWAT team needs to temporarily seize your property is to use it as an observation post in an emergency situation, a federal judge in Nevada has ruled.

Police even have the right to smash down your door with a battering ram without a warrant and shoot you with pepper balls in order to take over your property, US District Court Judge Andrew Gordon concluded in a case called Anthony Mitchell v. City of Henderson. Mitchell and his parents sued the city of Henderson, a Las Vegas suburb, because of events on July 10, 2013.

The Mitchells’ attorneys argued the events violated their clients’ First, Third and Fourth Amendment rights. The Third Amendment makes it illegal for the government to seize private homes for use as quarters for soldiers and has rarely been the focus of a federal case. The attorneys contended that the Third Amendment applies to police as well as the military.

Does the Third Amendment Apply to SWAT teams?

Gordon dismissed the case.

“The relevant questions are thus whether municipal police should be considered soldiers, and whether the time they spent in the house could be considered quartering,” he wrote.

  • Breaking into any es home is illegal and the criminal must be resisted with lethal force.

    Once again, all police, lawyers and judges are operating under Maritime Admiralty Law, which not apply to American soil or the soverign citizens who inhabit the land.

    By not operating under the constitution they have broken the rule of law and are aiding and abetting an illegitimate tyrannical federal/ state governments throught the US.

    Police officers serve a very dangerous and deadly regime.

    . Legalese is the language of the law that was kept secret from us.

    Common law court is not controlled by the world’s corporate powers.  

    The courts, judges and police department are operating illegally on American soil.
