If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound? The question here is without bodycams, can a pre-announced entry truly be validated? Going forward, no bodycam may come to mean no knock, with consequences for the viability of charges levied against home occupants who fire at cops entering the premises by force.

I think that without bodycameras, the right thing to do is to assume the cops failed to follow protocol, broke several laws and should be liable for all charges.
Easy solution: wear your damn bodycam.

Ten years ago, I would have taken the cops' word for it that they announced themselves loud enough. Now I know that some cops lie.

For myself, I could never vote to convict in such a circumstance. Police need to become a part of civilized society again. If they want to act like an occupying army, we'll treat them as such.
