The Florida "Castle Doctrine" law basically does three things:
One: It establishes, in law, the presumption that a criminal who forcibly enters or intrudes into your home or occupied vehicle is there to cause death or great bodily harm, therefore a person may use any manner of force, including deadly force, against that person.
Two: It removes the "duty to retreat" if you are attacked in any place you have a right to be. You no longer have to turn your back on a criminal and try to run when attacked. Instead, you may stand your ground and fight back, meeting force with force, including deadly force, if you reasonably believe it is necessary to prevent death or great bodily harm to yourself or others. [This is an American right repeatedly recognized in Supreme Court gun cases.]
Three: It provides that persons using force authorized by law shall not be prosecuted for using such force.
It also prohibits criminals and their families from suing victims for injuring or killing the criminals who have attacked them.

How many times can you think of the state legislature passing a law that actually made sense?

Although thier intent was good, it's so easy to undermine that law that it's almost disgusting
Underlined and BOLDED are the key phrases

Once you enter onto those properties, you have NO expectation of privacy.
A lot of people use the signs as a bluff (not a good idea) or as a preventative measure when the equipment is actually in place.
Both schools of thought have merit.
Prevention:
Usually preclude having to clean up print powder the Crime Scene Techs so sparingly spread across the room while processing a crime scene, or having to get blood stains removed from the carpets
Stealth:
Usually means you'll likely have hard evidence to later capture the perp should you be gone when they intrude (thus negating the need for blood spatter cleaning )
Hope that helps

Yup! And mine are very real. Watching the front door and the 'vette whenever I'm not home.

Sorry to hear your plight.
call Sherrif's office and ask for internal afairs divison and tell them you want to file a formal complaint re: Officer misconduct and conduct unbecoming a Law enforcemnet officer.
If that doesn't get you anywhere call the Da's office and repeat your request.
Above all be calm and non accusatory. that is IAD's job.
Also check for anything the alleged perp left behind for fingerprint and dna analysis.
ANd do not give up if you don't get instant results, if you really want to bring about a just close to your problem
But beware, if you do follow through with a formal complaint and this guy is tried and convicted he will get out of the big house at some point and might come back to you for more.
I suggest you think this over in a calm manner and discuss it with your wife.
I would apply for a concealed carry permit and after you are approved, getyou and your wife a 38 or a 357 . For your wife Taurus make avery nice feather weight snubnose 38 at a very good price; new at a gunshop for about$400.
