    Law enforcement officers have a duty of care. If they execute a no knock warrant at an address that is no longer valid and get shot in the process it is likely there would be no criminal culpability for the homeowner if it’s in a castle doctrine state.

      Does lemmy have a sub for badlegaladvice? This comment feels like a prime candidate :)

        If there was, I didn’t see it but as the Executive will find out if there was, it’s not up to them, it’s up to the Judicial.

        The person currently occupying the White House is not a king. Much as he might like to believe otherwise.

        I’m a law abiding citizen of the United States. If someone breaks into my home have every reason to believe they’re hostile and won’t hesitate to use deadly force to protect myself and my family.
