I believe No-Knock entry needs to be available to LEO in cases where it is needed.
If you are entering a place with a felon or known criminal who is known to have used weapons violently against either police or citizens, they should have the option.
Does it need to be better monitored, controlled, and executed?
Yes.
But outlawing them puts police at risk.
We need to ask ourselves the question: if I were carrying out this raid myself, or a loved one was carrying it out, and they are looking for a known violent criminal who has a history of murder or shooting police, is announcing myself inviting bullets through the door?
No the question we need to ask is why are we carrying out a raid in the first place? Arrest on the street, coming or going from the home or announce and wait for them to respond and come out. The answer is again there is no compelling reason to use raids to arrest drug dealers and for many many reasons. First and foremost is this puts both police officers and innocent people in great peril for little if any benefit. Often the cops are just plain wrong and the occupants of the home are not drug dealers and pose no immediate threat to anyone. Sometimes the police have the WRONG ADDRESS and they put themselves and completely innocent people at risk of being killed. What makes this worse is if they have the wrong address and break down the door at 2am any armed citizen is VERY likely to fire on the intruders believing a home invasion is taking place. Normal folks, just never expect the police to be the ones breaking down their door and thus have only fractions of a second to take action.
Folks, this stuff is really a no brainer. We don't need police conducting a war on drugs. Forcible entry into homes is a third world police state tactic and we need to put a stop to it. Police state behavior has no place in our Republic.
When it first got approved it was supposed to be under cases of extreme danger. They were outlawed until the 80s, how many cops got killed serving warrants. How many have been killed being served warrants since then. It’s bad math, no knock needs to end.
