>>I don’t get “no knock warrants”.<<
My understanding it started with drug warrants, so they couldn’t destroy the evidence. So how the hell was Duncan Lemp going to destroy his guns if they showed up during the day with a normal warrant and knocked on the door?
No knock warrants AND civil asset seizure needs to end.
The U.S. Supreme Court effectively ended civil asset forfeitures last year.
In Texas, if law enforcement executes a no-knock raid and the residents kill a law enforcement officer, the odds of getting an indictment of the resident has decreased so significantly, I don't think they are used much.
