Good!

Yeah, I know, some dopers might be able to flush their dope... Whatever.

Would rather lose some dope case then have any more innocent homeowners get into gunfights at 3am because cops had enough evidence to get a warrant but apparently not enough to know that the target moved out of that house 6 months ago.

I agree. My ideals align with his more often than not.

Sounds good to me. As usual Senator Paul identifies a cause that both sides should be able to agree on.

I'd like to read the actual bill.

I wouldn't necessarily ban them altogether, but I have espoused that they be considered as "deadly force" (they meet most definitions of deadly force out there) and be treated and used as such... to be used only to protect from an imminent threat of death or bodily harm.  (i.e. hostage situations, active attack in progress, kidnapping, etc.).

OR have cops shot because someone heard them crashing in and assumed it was a home invasion and started firing.

No. They'll set up a perimeter and starve you out.

It means they will identify themselves before they break in which is fair enough.

The risk of death or bodily injury to suspects, innocents, AND cops is too high for anything other than life-threatening emergencies.

A good first step in the right direction.

Body cams should be mandatory.

Promising.

There is actually a time and place for these unfortunately they were abused and killed and/or maimed innocent people.

I think there needs to a level of accountability in their use.

Whoever rubber stamps them and the raid strike package element mission commander or whatever stupid title they give themselves to wear all the stars should be held accountable if things go wrong.

Old school accountable.

A little too far.  End no knock raids for anything other than serious violent felony suspects. Murder, kidnapping, terrorist attack, hostage situation, rape, arson.  Anything less, not worth it.

If you arent currently in jail or otherwise in custody, there is no gun control law, period.

Exactly. The risk isn't worth the reward.
The only other alternative would be a system with multiple levels of authentication to 100% verify the target,
but I lack faith that the .gov could come up with a law that does that.

Objectively, I agree with you.

Subjectively, from what I've seen.... if you let them do it at all, they'll find a way to justify why the warrant is needed "this time" because reasons..... no matter how onerous the bar is set to..... once they find the trigger words/ situations.....no- knocks will rise again.

If they make mistakes now, they will make mistakes in the future.  If you read the rules on no knocks now, it's hard to see how a mistake could be made if the rules were actually followed rather than the report just saying they were.

It's the only way I can see a mistake happening right now, yet there are plenty of examples of those mistakes occurring...... just saying .....

So how many "no knock" raids are actually no knock? Looks to me like quite a few are knock once, announce, and then boot the door all in a second or two.

That's knock and announce.  

If they had a real no knock, they just burst through the door and then start shouting/ shooting.

They look very similar.  In reality, 3am raids should be reduced.  Hit the house while they are out, snag the person when they come home.

I assume like here the police would not need a warrant to enter they observe a active crime is taking place?

I.e. person being strangled  inside a house and the cops have to wait outside on the warrant?

For the rest of course no knock warrants would need to end when there no danger to human life.

Exigent circumstances, yes.

Finding evidence of a crime isn't an exigent circumstance (no time pressure to save a life, etc) and require a warrant or an active pursuit or other reason that isn't just suspected presence of evidence.

None of those things require warrants typically. You are talking about exigent circumstances

In my humble opinion the knock and nearly simultaneous entry is functionally a no knock.  You still aren't allowing the target to comprehend what is happening to them.  If police want people to react rationally they shouldn't force them into a fight or flight response.  If they force them into a fight or flight it's not the target's fault that they follow their biology.
