Tim Downs, president of the Indiana State Fraternal Order of Police, which opposed the legislation, said the law could open the way for people who are under the influence or emotionally distressed to attack officers in their homes.

People who are 'under the influence or emotionally distressed' will attack an Officer of the Law anyways.

“It’s just a recipe for disaster,” Downs told Bloomberg. “It just puts a bounty on our heads.”

An easy fix ...simply ensure you double check that the address you are about to perform a 'dynamic entry' into is the correct address. It may even save you a couple Dollars that might have been spent replacing bullets used to shoot the family dog. We all know it requires a fusillade of bullets to put down an angry vicious man-eating Labrador. Particularly the ones that stick their tongues out!

In this case no one shot the dog, the cops were there at the invitation of the resident, there was no dynamic entry,........

It's always good to take a look at the facts of the case that precipitates this sort of thing and kind of work from there.

This was a domestic dispute.

IMO, the only reason to make a "dynamic entry" is if someone seen entering a home and once inside is being threatened and in eminent danger. That being the case, any LEO entering will face the same threats whether this law is in place or not. Suspicion of drug dealing, prostitution, whatever, is not a reason to SWAT a home. If they are doing something illegal inside the home, surveil and catch them outside; then go in with a warrant.

I think I have a better suggestion. How about simply serving the warrant with a knock on the door like civilized folk?

Better yet. Stop doing “dynamic entries.” They aren’t about protecting police, they are about getting evidence before it is destroyed. They put police and the public at risk and need to end. Only in the MOST extreme of circumstances should they be used.
