Police Do Not Have a Constitutional Duty to Protect You

It is likely presumed by most citizens of the U.S. that police agencies have a duty to protect them. Yet time and time again courts have ruled that these agencies generally have not constitutional duty to protect. 




WASHINGTON, June 27, 2005 - The Supreme Court ruled on Monday that the police did not have a constitutional duty to protect a person from harm, even a woman who had obtained a court-issued protective order against a violent husband making an arrest mandatory for a violation.

Burglary/Home Invasion

Burglary, also called breaking and entering is an unlawful entry into a building or other location for the purposes of committing an offence.(1)

Although the exact definition of burglary may be a little different from state to state, the crime typically involves a culprit:

  • entering 
  • a building
  • without permission
  • with the intent to commit a felony or steal property while inside (even if the theft itself would only be a misdemeanor).

Burglary is distinguished from less serious crimes such as criminal trespass in that, with burglary, the prosecution has to prove that a defendant intended to commit a qualifying crime inside the building at the very moment of entry.(2)

Home invasion is generally considered an illegal and usually forceful entry to an occupied, private dwelling with intent to commit a violent crime against the occupants, such as robbery, assault, rape, murder, or kidnapping.(3)

*Jurisdictions have varying definitions.
