My previous position remains unchanged: No-knock raids require that the person being served have perfect information when no such information can possibly be obtained.

I also said:

How long do you think it will take before actual, dangerous criminals decide to emulate this behavior? It won’t take much – bust in to the target residence with guns drawn and balaclavas covering your face, wearing black and/or fatigues, and yell out to your victims that you’re the police. In any such circumstance, the results will be disastrous: citizens afraid to defend their own homes against what they believe to be a clear and present danger, because someone is claiming to be the police.

Seems my premonition has come true, news brief here

nods to Agitator for his dilligence in following stories of this sort.

More of my callous thoughts on why the unfortunate victim in the Maye case got his due.
