This is a good start! Never should have been allowed in the first place!

The ONLY time a no knock warrant should be able to be used is if the place they are raiding has been under surveillance for more than 24 hours and they know EXACTLY what they are goign into and/or possibly have a “man on the inside”.

It should never be used at the drop of a hat for ANY residence, EVER!

[bkopto]

Whatever happened to the old-fashioned “stake out” where the occupants are arrested after having left the residence?

I suppose the cops don’t have the time for that anymore.

[BOBWADE]

All they need to do is remove all liability exemptions and (blanket immunity) watch how fast things change.

[redgolum]

I agree.

Agree COMPLETELY!

Most cops don’t like it either, because you NEVER know how the surprised residents are going to react to what is actually a home invasion.

[poindexters brother]

In my opinion there are three areas that police departments have abused that need to be stopped:

1. No-knock warrants / invasions
2. Militarization of police departments via SWAT
3. Civil forfeiture of property

I believe that use of these tactics and proceedings have eroded confidence in, and support of police departments.

ANYONE, I MEAN ANYONE, who busts through my door is going to get messed up bad! And in Montgomery County, Ohio I'm sure the Sheriff’s department does that allot.

Which reminds me, I'm getting low on ammo.
