Do you have a list of approved interpreters of court opinions? Here I thought they were written for the benefit of all citizens. (amateurs)

There is nothing reasonable about a no knock entry. You have indicated their utility in limited instances. By the numbers, it is much less limited today than 30 years ago.
To what do you attribute the increase?

Perhaps it would be easier and safer for LE to classify ALL warrants as high risk and every home a stronghold? (sarcasm)

We the people have the final say, libertine or otherwise.

Dicta isn't binding. The only thing that is binding in a Court opinion is a holding. Go to law school and get a J.D. and you'd learn these things.

There is nothing reasonable about a no knock entry.

A no-knock entry is presumptively unreasonable, unless such entry is justified by limited exigent circumstances. You don't get to decide what is reasonable under the 4th Amendment. The Constitution hasn't delegated that authority to you.

You have indicated their utility in limited instances. By the numbers, it is much less limited today than 30 years ago. To what do you attribute the increase?

A combination of factors. Greater Population, more violent criminals, and to some extent overuse.

We the people have the final say, libertine or otherwise.

So each person is free to make their own law? A law unto themselves? That's anarchy, not liberty.
