Since you're being sarcastic and trying to blow the problem out of proportion, what percentage of raids occur at the wrong address?
The real question is: how many police lieutenants truly believe “we have a warrant” entitles them to intrude on a U.S. Citizen’s residence, even if it is *not* the residence specified on the warrant.

Lieutenant Partain of the Richmond County Sheriff’s Office says, “I don’t know if we broke the law, obviously our legal people have to explain that to us.”
Reporter Brett Buffington asks, “You did raid a house with no warrant, though.”
Lieutenant Partain says, “We raided a house with a warrant. We did go to the wrong house.”
Reporter Brett Buffington again asks, “You did raid a house with no warrant.”
Lieutenant Partain says, “We raided a house, we did go there with a warrant, and we did raid the wrong house.”
Reporter Brett Buffington says, “You raided a house with no warrant, you didn’t have a warrant to this house.”
Lieutenant Partain says, “That is true, that is true, that is true.”
"Uh, uhm, uh.....sorry Ma'am. Have a good day." And off they go the the correct house.
I understand that in some severe situations they may need to burst in without a knock, but that ought to be extremely rare, instead of common, like it seems to be now. We have lost control of the niceties of civilization, and if we want to remain free, we have to regain control of them and the fascists who argue agains them.
I doubt any of us know but the percentage should be zero. Just because they can conduct no-knocks doesn't mean preparation and verification should be ignored.
