A Nevada man is suing the city of Henderson and its police under the rarely-used Third Amendment, claiming that they unconstitutionally arrested him for obstruction of justice when he refused to let them commandeer his home.

The Third Amendment prohibits the quartering of soldiers in private homes without the homeowners' permission.
