“No knock raids should be illegal.”
maybe ‘almost’ illegal.
Can envision a scenario where they might be appropriate.
Problem is with "almost" is they keep on finding reasons to expand the conditions in which it is used.
It is the nature of things to expand until they run up against something that pushes back.
And people, especially nice polite civilized people do not tend to push back. "It is just a little thing, a trifle, hardly an inconvenience and you are just being unreasonable and paranoid," they say.
