“Police should be required to have a marked car in front of a house that is being raided.”
Why stop there? May be cops should alert the warranted persons facebook wallposts so that their iphones beep and let them know. May be skype them just to make sure.
Where in the constitution does it mandate a warrant be accompanied by a warning?
You don’t know your law do you.
It's not a civil rights thing at all. My suggestion is meant to prevent dangerous misunderstandings.
Suppose it's eleven o'clock in the sagar household. Everyone is fast asleep. Then you hear your front door being broken down. Someone yells "police".
What do you do? Dial 911, for sure. Then do you grab a gun to defend your family from a home invasion? Or do you come out of your bedroom with both hands up? Pick the wrong answer (either way) and perhaps you get shot and your family gets hurt, or worse.
But suppose the police were required to turn on sirens and lights the instant they hit your door. Then you'd have some idea what to do, and what not to do.
