Uninvited Guests
Prof. Glenn Reynolds, citing The Wall Street Journal, discusses the increasing amount of no-knock warrants. The article discusses 40,000 a year no-knock entries before 9-11, based on bad tips from untrustworthy sources, dozen of innocent people killed, CYA by police when victims or their families ask questions, empty promises of reform, and alot of broken doors just to arrest for victimless drug crimes. The article discusses a Fairfax, VA man who was shot and killed this year in a raid to investigate sports gambling. Rarely are these raids being used in emergency situations where people are threatened.
