Paul's legislation, titled the Justice for Breonna Taylor Act, would prohibit federal law enforcement from carrying out a warrant "until after the officer provides notice of his or her authority and purpose."
It would also apply to state and local law enforcement that receive funding from the Justice Department.
A proposal unveiled by House and Senate Democrats earlier this week would ban the use of no-knock warrants in federal drug cases and tie law enforcement funding to state and local agencies on a similar ban.

See post #40 and the following.
The number of no-knock raids has increased from 3,000 in 1981 to more than 50,000 in 2005, according to Peter Kraska, a criminologist at Eastern Kentucky University in Richmond.
Raids that lead to deaths of innocent people are increasingly common; since the early 1980s, forty bystanders have been killed, according to the Cato Institute in Washington, D.C.
How did our country ever survive until 1981 without No-Knock Warrants?
Unfortunately you have swallowed the leftist propaganda hook line and sinker. Cops are not dealing with ARs and such on any statistically significant level. In fact the percentage of crimes committed with ARs and MAC-10s is so low it’s difficult to measure accurately. Most cops will spend there entire career and never see any rifle used in a crime much less an AR-15. What you stated simply isn’t true.
Maybe I watch too many episodes of Chicago PD, then. They seem to face criminals with military grade weapons every other episode!
Very true and of course they are full auto which almost never occurs in real life. The one thing hollywood gets right is they depict criminal thugs running through the streets with machine guns and they rarely hit their targets, which is what would most likely happen. lol
1981? LBJ’s Great Society was the major reason for Black kids with no father, men doing little except leaving a woman’s house before X hour, etc. Then Ted Kennedy’s Immigration Reform Act started this crap we have NOW.

What does that have to do with the statistics on No-Knock Warrants that I quoted?
The Hill is a terrible source. I have never heard of this so called college/university. If I am the law going after a dangerous gang type or their club house-I am not going to knock on the darn door.
Armed home invaders deserve one thing.
Gang bangers and and felons deserve no damn warning. You a Thug?
judges are Dems like 95% of of Lawyers.
They barbecued children.
Sounds like you’re an anti-Constitutionalist.
You ever been in combat as an Infantry type (army or marine). we do not warn the damn enemy in an ambush or on any OP. The judges says it’s legal, so F Rand Paul.
You want combat in the streets of the U.S. between citizens and LE? So much for Posse comitatus.
As for what judges consider legal how about abortion?
Conservatives care about the 4th Amendment.
You sound like an ANTIFA punk.
Let’s agree to disagree. The States have different laws. You never saw combat did you? Be honest. Antifa? LMAO.
Punk? This is Free Republic. Sounds like you do not value state laws or police lives. Until every state that favors no knock gets rid of said it is legal in them. I am no fan of an MD who
only wants money from me.
You mean like John Kerry? Like John McCain?
Talking about combat in this context makes you sound like Joe Biden.
Sounds like you do not value state laws or police lives.
I care more about the Constitution.
