No knock warrants are unconstitutional.

They may be fashionable with SWAT teams, but SWAT teams of late have been ignoring the Constitution when it doesn’t serve the interests of The State.

Unconstitutional? They have been challenged in court on several occasions and have been found very much in compliance. I don’t happen to agree, but who am I to argue with the courts. As for the SWAT teams ignoring the Constitution, they are complying with the orders of a judge somewhere. A warrant can’t be exercised without a judge’s signature.

Once again, I’m not in anyway trying to justify the no knock warrant, just stating the facts.

As a retired officer I never thought the no knock was constitutional but the courts said so, so who was I to disagree (by the way, I never served a no knock in all my 28 years).
