Third Amendment Suit

I was reading an interesting article this morning located here.  The article deals with a suit by a family for violation of their Third Amendment rights under the United States Constitution which deals with the quartering of soldiers without the homeowner's consent.  The case alleges that police officers without the homeowner's permission occupied their home in order to monitor a neighbor.  These suits are extremely rare on Third Amendment grounds.  Most of these personal injury type suits against police entities deal with excessive force and other civil rights violations.  This will be an interesting case to watch.
