The 3rd Amendment has rarely been seen as part of a lawsuit, but was incorporated by the 2nd Circuit in 1982

Wow. Thanks for the link. I was unaware that the 3A had ever been part of litigation.
If ever it would have been invoked, I would have expected it after government contractors evicted folks from their homes during the hurricane Katrina debacle.
In this case, the defense would probably point out that the 3A refers to
soldiers. Whether that applies to the police (which weren't an organized body at the time of the founding) will be for the court to decide.
