That's exactly why it's on the list. The courts have held that police are not soldiers and thus it does not apply to them. Completely ignoring the fact that police did not exist in 1792 and policing was done by soldiers.

So if the police wanted to say, take over your house to gain a vantage point against your neighbor, (Henderson, NV, 2013) you wouldn't have any recourse under the 3rd amendment.

I guess we should be happy they aren't just seizing houses under Civil Asset Forfeiture...
