You’re confusing the specifics of the case with the language of the ruling, which is what will be used in the future to establish new law.

Perhaps. I read the article, not the legal brief, but it sounds pretty clear to me that what is meant is not that police have the right to enter without cause, but that if they do so you don’t have the right to physically oppose them.

The court will sort out who was right or wrong after the fact, and nobody needs to have been injured.

If the language was poor, it will no doubt be challenged, as the system is designed to allow.
