The Indiana Supreme Court on Tuesday upheld its ruling that residents don’t have the right to resist police officers who illegally enter their homes but explained further that the ruling also does not give police carte blanche to enter a home.

The 4-1 decision comes four months after the court ruled against an Evansville man charged with blocking and shoving a police officer who tried to go inside his home without a warrant after his wife called 911 during an argument.

Opponents of the earlier decision have argued it violates the common law “castle doctrine” that protects against entry into one’s home. The court maintained Tuesday that blocking entry does not legally include battering a police officer in the process.

“We hold that the Castle Doctrine is not a defense to the crime of battery or other violent acts on a police officer,” Justice Steven David wrote in the majority opinion.
