When serving a warrant, police are supposed to knock and announce their presence and purpose to the occupants of a residence.  This is called the “knock-and-announce” rule; it is based on the “reasonableness” requirement of the Fourth Amendment and codified in Texas and other states’ laws.

Current U.S. Supreme Court case law (Richards v. Wisconsin) holds that before police may serve a warrant using a no-knock, surprise entry of a residence, they must either have a no-knock warrant approved by a magistrate or be able to articulate “exigent circumstances” at the scene that lead them to believe the safety of persons would be endangered by their knocking and announcing.  Knock and announce has always been a fundamental rule in 4th Amendment jurisprudence and its exceptions rigidly restricted.  In Texas, that law is now under attack.

I being an X Law Enforcement Officer disagree with the No knock Warrant because it in dangers Law Enforcement Officer’s lives, and the Occupants Lives. Law Enforcement should be an example to the Community, and not act like common thieves when executing a Warrant. They should be above this practice,  and act like Professionals, possibly saving their lives or the occupants of the house. I understand sometimes evidence is lost when you knock, but that’s better than someone losing their life.  

The Administration’s of most Departments are encouraging these practices and putting their citizens and Officers in harms way with little regard for their lives! I was one of the few that stood up to this practice, and probably why one of the reasons I’m no longer in Law Enforcement.  You see when you stand up against the Brotherhood you become the black sheep, and then they go on a witch hunt to get rid of you

We can only hope and pray that a jury will find a Defendant NOT GUILTY for defending their home, and create case law against this dangerous practice. Next time you get summoned for Jury Duty don’t get angry because this is your chance to make a difference. Through Jury Nullification, and creating new case law you will help other Victims who their homes have been invaded by an  ever reaching Law Enforcement Community.

This is also a gross disregard for the 4^th Amendment, and the American people’s right to feel safe in their own homes. This Nazi mentality has to stop, but if we as a people do NOTHING that’s exactly what’s going to happen! NOTHING!

I know I worked for these people I know how they think. Most of them are Arrogant, and think they know what’s best for you and your family.  It’s time we start complaining more to our Local Cities, and County Agencies, and if the Mayor doesn’t replace a police Chief that’s violated his Office then replace the Mayor! If the Sheriff in your Community does not respect the Right of Citizens, and the U.S. Constitution VOTE him out of office! I know this is harder than it should be with these Zombie Masses that’s why there are Websites like this one to try to WAKE THEM UP!

Here’s another article about one of these incidents that occurred in Killen, TX. There’s way too many of the stories in America now!
