The right to keep government forces out of your private home unless they have a legal reason (i.e. a warrant) has been law since 1215--the Magna Carta of England. Western law has abided by this ruling for the last almost 800 years (did I add correctly?)
Remember the Fourth Amendment of our Constitution? "The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be
violated."
Yet Judge Steven David writes that a police officer may "enter a home for any reason or no reason at all," and that the notion of requiring a warrant "is incompatible with modern Fourth Amendment jurisprudence.”
In short, your Constitutional rights don't matter in Indiana.
