I’ve always hated even the idea of “no knock warrants”. But because we still allow them, the police cannot be held responsible for what happens when the doors get kicked in.
I strongly disagree with your premise
Just because they are legally allowed does not give the police the right to abuse them. And by abuse I mean even using them. And that goes double the judges who approve these things.
Especially based on the patently transparent BS that is submitted as evidence. Stuff like monitoring a jailhouse phone call by a known scumbag and using that as evidence to smash down somebody’s door in the middle of the night.
They’re trashing the Fourth Amendment for drugs and cash, not for suitcase nukes.
The thing I’d like to ask some of these clowns is, you can’t post somebody to watch the place and serve a warrant when they’re walking down the hallway? Do these people never leave their homes? So that you have to smash the door down to get them out?
If they are afraid of drugs going down the drain...put a trap on the drain before you go in. That’s easy enough to do.
The only time they should be able to go in is if a kid or innocent is being endangered.
