Not bad.
I would imagine in some cases a no knock would be prudent. Maybe they should use a bullhorn and tell them to come out with your hands up or we’re coming in.
Good
Probably a good idea. Give these cities a dose of their ‘no police’ reforms for awhile.
Many innocent people have been murdered by bogus no-knock warrant executions. Not just one here and there, but many, and often. They were always a bad idea.
I support this bill. Been a number of completely innocent people killed (and/or their pets) because they had the wrong address. If they have the resources to do a raid, they have the resources to surround a building and wait it out.
The unions will hate this. Good
This is a step in the right direction. Rand is a good man.
No-knock warrants are both unAmerican and fascist.
No-Knock Warrants Will Be Treated Like All Armed Home Invasions!
Violate the Constitution At My Home At Your Own Risk.
No knock raids have to be approved by a judge based on evidence. If you could trust judges, there would not be a problem. But then, our system was meant for a moral American people. Apparently there are a bunch of judges appointed by clinton/bush/obumber that lack that fundamental American trait.
I don’t get “no knock warrants”.
They seem like a sure way to get a bunch of cops killed.
If someone comes in to my home yelling “police, warrant”, I will assume they are criminals feigning cops. Any other reaction would be absurd.
If someone is smashing in your door, is your first thought, 'that must be the police'?
Louisville City Council passes ‘Breonna’s law’ to ban no-knock warrants

These things came about in the drug days of the sixties and seventies. Watch old police shows and the police are always upset about the crooks getting off on technicalities and “flushing” the drugs down the toilet before the door was opened.
The no-knock warrant is a tool to give the police the upper hand (and the element of surprise) especially when weapons are involved. The problem is the number of times the wrong address is attacked and/or when innocents may be present.
Our system is designed to let a guilty man go free (beyond a reasonable doubt) so an innocent man will not be improperly imprisoned. Life and Liberty are precious rights and stripping an American Citizen of these rights is anathema to our system of Governance.
All of us boomers grew up seeing the Sherrif or Police knock on a door and state “open up in the name of the law” in order to announce their presence and give the suspect the opportunity to surrender to the long arm of the law.
Things have changed, drugs are stronger, profits are larger and drugs may even be state sponsored. Life is cheap on the streets and our police are looking for any edge to ensure they return home safely at night.
I don’t think doing away with no-knock warrants will solve our problems although I can support this bill. The true solution is to get out and meet our neighbors, become friends, and continue enlarging this circle until we become caring communities and see each other as God sees us. Only then will we love our neighbor as ourself and lift each other up to enjoy our Lif, Liberty, and pursuit of Happiness as intended in the Garden and in our Constitution.
Good.
This is a good thing.
Eliminating police and other public service unions would be another.
Oh boy, what will the Clinton News Nutwork do? They won’t get any more “awards” for coverage of SWAT raids on citizens like Roger Stone.
All the drugs would be “flushed” and computer data erased. Perhaps there should be a phone call first or share coffee and doughnuts?
