Will the resulting lawsuits provide the homeowners with all new valuables? If they find drugs or other evidence of crimes, can they use this information? Will they search desks and copy or take documents? Will they take or search laptops, cell phones, pda’s or other devices likely to contain personal information? If the homeowner is actually home and defends himself against the “criminals” that broke in, who is liable for injuries on either side? This whole concept has FAIL written all over it.
