Wow, I looked and just can't seem to find the phrase "knock and announce" in the Fourth Amendment.

It's seventeen lines below the "Right to Abortion." Get your eyes checked. :)

Actually, it's in the bit about "No unreasonable search and seizure". Cops executing search warrants are supposed to do so in such fashion as to reasonably minimize the harm to the target (other than such harm as may result from the acquisition of evidence against the target, of course). To be sure, cops often act with callous disregard for the hardship their actions might impose on others, but even ransacking a person's apartment doesn't endanger them the way no-knock raids do.

And the third paragraph above "Separation or Church and State" :)
