Seem to be happening a lot these days. A big part of the problem is that law enforcement has somehow gotten the ability to bust into people's houses without knocking. Imagine if, instead, they knocked on this lady's door. "Who is it". "Police, we have a warrant to search. Open the door." She opens the door and is given the warrant. "Officer, you have the wrong house. This is no. 133."

"Uh, uhm, uh.....sorry Ma'am. Have a good day." And off they go the the correct house.

I understand that in some severe situations they may need to burst in without a knock, but that ought to be extremely rare, instead of common, like it seems to be now. We have lost control of the niceties of civilization, and if we want to remain free, we have to regain control of them and the fascists who argue agains them.

The justification for "no knock" warrants go back to English common law.
