I HATE no-knock warrants. There has GOT to be a better way ...

If you don't want a "no knock warrant" don't break the law.. Sorry, couldn't resist.. LOL

I read an article recently where a warrant was served via a normal knock on the door.
Bad thing though, the homeowner was packing and one of the cops over-reacted and shoot him on the spot.
It was ruled justifiable by the court.
Some real scary stuff.
I'll see if I can find the news link. ETA: http://wgme.com/news/features/top-s...ng-windham-justified-24013.shtml#.VByWCU1OWUk

Seriously, if he was the fawkin Don Corleone of cocaine, then I might see it. Timmy the street dealer could be picked up outside his freakin' apartment by Joe Friday. How many people have to die, on either side of the badge, before we decide that violating someone's 4th amendment rights for 3 oz. of coke isn't worth it?

My sentiments exactly. It's not worth it.

What happens when the popo gets the wrong address?

What is the criteria for a no knock, anybody know?

Home invasion by the police is still a home invasion. No mercy for the offending invaders. If you don't ID yourself as a cop, you risk getting shot. Hell, you risk getting shot anyway.

Just because someone identifies themselves a cop doesn't mean they are one. It's not unheard of for BG's to break into a house pretending to be cops conducting a raid.

This is one of the many reasons I really don't care for them. Too many things can go wrong.
