If the cop has the wrong address or name and you as the resident have a clean record no 12 people will agree upon conviction. A reasonable law abiding person has every right to believe someone bashing down their door while they are coming out of the bathroom etc {out of hearing range} is a hostile intruder especially when those Morons are not in PATROL police uniform.
I do not agree with no knock unannounced entry EXCEPT under hostage situations. As long as judges let any cop swear the warrant and the cop who swears the warrant {for example an undercover bust} is not there to present said warrant innocent people both police and citizens are going to get shot. If the cops can't handle that then they need to find another profession. But a cop swearing a warrant stating the offense should be required to be on scene to serve it yes even undercover cops.
A lot of mistakes come from where Cop A goes to the judge & swears a warrant and Cop B and company serve it while Cop A is elsewhere or even off duty etc. Cop A knows the actual location on a visual. A typo by a clerk, cop, or anyone else in the process makes for these types of mistakes.
I'm pro-law enforcement but I believe a person has every right to assume they are safe in their own home and it is a GOD given right of the innocents to protect their property. Police need to dump their ninja suits and fatigues also except again under hostage situations where innocent life is at stake. Do the raids in Patrol uniform. They bring much of this on themselves not doing so IMO.
You might want to read about the case of Cory Maye.
No criminal record.
Police got tip that his next door neighbor was selling drugs.
Police raid next door neighbor and Maye's residence late at night (two halves of duplex).
Maye was asleep near his infant daughter when police kicked down the door.
He picked up his gun and fired at the intruders, killing a police officer, but threw down his gun immediately upon police identifying themselves.
Police found no drugs in their search of Maye's home, though much later did another search and claimed to have found a single marijuana cigarette.
Jury convicted him and sentenced him to death.
Interestingly enough, the neighbor had bagloads of drugs, but was never charged with a crime and today cannot be located to serve as a witness. (Can you say coverup?)
Tell that to Cory Maye.
There was a warrant issued for his dwelling, but only because it was adjacent to that of a drug dealer. The only fact accutally attested under oath to receive the warrant was the unusual amount of traffic received by Cory Maye's neighbor. The affidavit claims that Officer Jones (the affiant) had been told by an unnamed informant that there were drugs there, but that fact was never attested under oath. Officer Jones is dead, and there is no record of the identity of the mystery informat or anything else substantial about the case.
Cory Maye is currently on Death Row.
