There have been a couple of us commenting already on here...
“Every good citizen makes his country's honor his own, and cherishes it not only as precious but as sacred. He is willing to risk his life in its defense and is conscious that he gains protection while he gives it.” Andrew Jackson
A veteran is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to 'The United States of America ' for an amount of 'up to and including my life.'
That is Honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it.
This wasn't a law enacted by their legislature. It was a ruling from their state Supreme Court on a case that went up to them from the lower courts.

Yep!

OneGuy & KevDen are right. Remember we have 3 branches of government: Executive (to apply the laws), Legislative (to make the laws), and the Judicial (to interpret laws and provide for justice [to state this ultra simply: determine guilt or innocence and ensure RIGHTS are not violated in the process]).
Law Enforcement falls under the Executive branch. THANK HEAVENS this branch isn't part of THIS discussion.
The courts are part of the Judicial system are are NOT supposed to be legislating from the bench. But, this is exactly what they've done in this case.
As KevDen stated/implied, the fact that this ruling specifically says citizens have "no right to resist unlawful police entry into their homes" is the biggest crux here. Unlawful is the key. I can't see this standing and not getting stuck dow by the U.S. Court of Appeals. If it does, liberty is truly dead.

Well I'm glad you two are ok with having no personal space.I for one am glad that a law enforcement officer cannot invade my space without a very good reason and in most cases, a warrant. I don't have anything to hide, but my space is plain and simply black and white, my space call it greed or whatever you want, but come into my house uninvited and you're in trouble.
Unfortunately the cops there are going to be hated even more for the stupid ruling. That sucks because I am guessing that most of the cops there think it is a stupid rule also.
I just thought this was funny.

The only thing that surprises me is that this didn't happen in Kommiefornia.
Just call me 47
Fixed.

Spyder, you should probably go read this.

That is actually pretty funny
I fear the day that the Colorado Legislative body allows something like this... In our town there are several cops that would preform an illegal entry on BS grounds... not bashing all cops, but when a department sends it's rookies right off FTO to our mountain community and a number of them are overly eager and ambitious to prove themselves worthy to work in West Denver they tend to bend rules and become too aggressive for how low our crime rate is. I've seen it several times, especially when a new deputy becomes an SRO and questions a minor without parental consent.
Enter my house illegally and you put me in hot water, I'll have to defend myself in court for killing a cop on the grounds that I thought they were corrupt and wanted to violate any and all rights I had. I keep 3 loaded weapons in easy reach at all times, despite having a low crime rate we have had a lot of larceny and home invasions recently.
