I fully support Law-abiding Law Enforcement Officers (The Constitution is the law of the land). However I do not support masked raiders who kick down doors on no-knock warrants. And I don't give a flying rat's ass what the Supreme Court said about such. The Founding Fathers would round up these jack-booted thugs and have a lamp post decorating party (nods to FReeper Travis McGee for the spot-on terminology).

Warrants are supposed to be hand delivered to the occupants of the building PRIOR to entering the premises and conducting the search unless it is deemed no one is in the said premises. There is no "drugs on the premises" or "known terrorists inside the building" clauses in the Constitution that negate the protections of the 4th Amendment.

Thank you.

The "law & order" crowd should not be the same as the "Tyranny" crowd...

If it’s not a hostage situation, serve a warrant by hand.

Enough home invaders have glommed onto yelling “Police!” that anybody can say “I was in fear for my life” and open up at will.

Bust down an innocent American’s door, by mistake or not, prepare to get shot in the face. Cop or home invader.

Don’t like it? Whine up your chain of command.
