“No-knock warrants are really dangerous, they’re just a bad policy,” Wu said, as reported in the article. “There’s no reason that you can’t announce that it’s the police coming into your door in the middle of the night…. Once the homeowners thought that their doors were being kicked down by home invaders, they started firing and the police responded in kind, and we simply can’t have that.”
While the bill being considered by the Texas state Senate defines no-knock raids pretty succinctly, the definition is not the issue. The biggest problem with this tactic — one so egregiously used that several states have curtailed or prohibited its use by law enforcement — is how often no-knock warrants have been used by police to devastating effect.
