I have a hard time with cops serving search warrants by busting in during the middle of the night. If they ever want in my home, walk up to the door show me a badge and come on in when I open the door. Or wait until I am out of the house.
I don't think it would be difficult to send out someone dressed as a telephone repairman, set up a camera and watch the house. Learn the pattern then raid during the day when the homeowner/tenant is out. Do a traffic stop and arrest the homeowner/tenant. Turn off the electricity, water or something that would make the homeowner/tenant come out. There has to be a better way that is safer for the cops and the suspect.
I fully agree.
They followed the law, not that I agree with the law.
The Fed's could have arrested Randy Weaver and David Koresh in town and served a respectable warrant on their homes.
After finding nothing they could have left with nobody dead.
Cops serve a warrent like this here and ammo will be fired. They probably will need a chopper too.
