It’s, you know, because drugs. Drugs are bad.
Mkay?
OK. so let’s say it was a meth lab. A few things about this raid would have not either been necessary or helpful.A dealer can flush product down the toilet if they have warning. Can’t exactly flush a meth lab. It is there. So, a no knock was not necessary. As far as a surprising these dangerous people, meth people are probably going to know you are there before the knock. So, you knock and say police and if there is no response, you go in. IF you have RELIABLE, ACTUAL evidence, not the smell of acetone!
These POS cops deserve the worst that could be given them, but it will never happen. There are no consequences.That poor man thought he was being robbed. He was right.
