Ohio authorities not aware of Fourth Amendment protections

Erie County, OH, A home schooling family has settled its case against Erie County social workers and Vermilion police for the coerced entry into the familys home on Feb. 21, 2001.

Courts have settled this key issue in other jurisdictions, and now its settled in this jurisdiction.
