Hilarious. I would love to see the outcome of this.

Good, we need ornery dirt-movers with cameras pulling this [censored]. Public servants long ago forgot they work for the public and have gotten WAY too used to just walking all over people's rights. I don't know the Indiana state code, but I seriously doubt it allows for random unwarranted searches of private property.

I'd love to know how this pans out.

Edit: I see someone in the comments gave a supposed case name and result.

At first I agreed with the cameraman but then I thought about government workers from places like social services. I don't think you could keep them off your property even without a warrant.

If you can keep the police out w/o a warrant, I'm pretty sure you can keep those people out.

Really? That seems open to all sorts of abuses of police power.

Someone calls in about a "health code violation" and now they are within their rights to search my house? Suppose they find illegal firearms?

He needed to have a rifle slung over his shoulder when he went out there.

I doubt he would get any huge cash settlement out of this would he? If she actually did find some illegal activity, it would be inadmissible in court. It would be awesome if he had a bunch of dead bodies in the hole. The judge would be like, sorry inadmissible, BECAUSE YOU TRESPASSED YOU STUPID [censored]!!!!!!!!

been about a year since I took property, but I believe this would be an illegal trespass unless there is some blanket exception to due process for health inspectors, which I highly doubt. whether or not she needs court approval may very well boil down to the nature of the violation alleged and whether or not she could reasonably believe the allegation.

I remember a case where a government worker was held to have not trespassed, but I think the reason was because she was going to help a migrant farmer who resided on the property and tenants have a right to have visitors or something.

Is it standard for her to identify herself by only her last intial? Also, would one have a right to use force in this situation? (I wouldn't but just wondering)

A Google search found this interesting letter by Ray Kirkus, who according to one of the vidoe's commentators is the guy taping the incident.
