In the United States of America, under the US Bill of Rights, that is illegal. Of course there may be some illegal stipulation in the Patriot Acts which makes this "legal". Both McCain and Obama voted for the Patriot Acts (a plagarized version of the British Terrorist Acts-actually they are far worse than Britian's Acts.) In Britain, this has been tested in Northern Ireland. Under the British Bill of Rights, it is also deemed illegal. This was tested during the 1970's when British Troops were sent in to quell the violence in the Ulster province on the request of its legislature, the Sturmont. Since Ulster is considered to be British and a native part of the Kingdom, it kinda of violates the British Bill of Rights--okay, it does- as all Northern Ireland citizens are British citizens. For further history, look up john Locke, Bill (Petition) of Right (1626), and King Charles I, and the Restoration. During King Charles I reign, English troops were living in peoples houses, which pissed off the land owners, and brought about the first Bill of Right.

What does the third amendment in the bill of rights state?

No quartering of soldiers, which means military troops can NOT take control of private homes during peacetime. To be exact, "No soldier shall, in time of peace be quartered in any house, without the consent of the owner, nor in time of war, but in a manner to be prescribed by law." Back in the day, citizens would have to open their homes and house the soldiers during war time. Today, that is activity is against the law unless government finds the need to enforce it.
