However, please note that such a resident _must_ have a reasonable belief that the intruder used forcible and unlawful entry. So, if the facts and circumstances suggest that the resident should have suspected a lawful police entrance, e.g., because they're wearing uniforms and yelling 'police!', then a judge is unlikely to accept that defence.
also worth noting is that said resident is likely to be dead very shortly and in no position to assert their rights or argue their case in court. they'll be killed in the ensuing gun battle or revenge-murdered later by other cops. craig -- craig sanders <cas@taz.net.au> BOFH excuse #30: positron router malfunction
