The Law of “No Knock” Warrants and Civil Rights Law Q&A



“No Knocks” are in the news following the Breonna Taylor shooting case. What is a “No Knock” warrant and when/how are they legal under federal constitutional law? One of my favorite topics. By favorite I mean that if I was a middle eastern dictator they would flow freely. This has been in the news now following the Breonna Taylor case. I’ll offer some analysis on that case, and also answer other civil rights constitutional law questions, if you have any – since this is LIVE.

This is the FREEDOM IS SCARY livecast Episode 16.

  1. Worst word in existence. Even a Safe is not safe. I cant believe they named it that.
    Did JFK fell safe in Dallas with every law dog around him ? Oh yeah we cant ask him.
    Did LH Oswald feel safe in the garage in the police dept.? Cant ask him either.
    D[d ML King feel safe with police all around him ? Well NO he did not.
    No one is ever safe. and we can not keep anybody safe but sometimes ourselves. I guess thats why everybody wants it so much that they will fantasize about it and lie to their selves about it. Its wild human nature I guess.

  2. I was hoping that you could help me find a civil attorney that is n my area. I was arrested by a task force in the county i live n but I feel that my constitutional rights were violated. there was video evidence that would help me with this case, but the RV where the video was was burnt down and everything was destroyed

  3. Why do so many cops assume that every single citizen would eagerly murder a police officer at the first opportunity???

    In any random police interaction, the cop is much more likely to injure/kill me than I am to injure/kill a police officer.

  4. IMO, No Knocks are never legal, although I am prepared to look the other way in the case of imminent danger to "life or limb" of an "innocent". Knock and Announce sounds good but in practice it very often means, beat on the door once or twice while screaming the word police and then immediately busting the door. –IMO also illegal. Now, I am certainly not a judge or an attorney but I am a juror from time to time and I apply my own judgement on these matters.

    Firearms, eh, I kind of prefer the way it was done back in the day when it was deemed mostly illegal to carry. When I was brought up firearms were not a fashion accessory as they are now and people were not afraid that there was a boogeyman hiding behind every bush. You were introduced to firearms by your parents or grandparents and were taught a healthy respect for them, the basic safety rules, and for lack of a better term, the social rules for their use against humans.–for the most part, never. These lessons were imparted with stern corporal punishment for any violation.
    Back then, most adult males in my family's extended social circle carried a handgun, if only in their vehicle, and unless you were up to some sort of serious "no good", it only got a wink and a nod from police officers. You very seldom ever saw the handguns, they were not something to display or brag about, but you knew they were there.
