No Knock Warrant ends in Dead CCW Homeowner

Overzealous drug war claims another casualty -- South Florida Sun-Sentinel.com

This is one of the most scary things about the militarizing of Police forces and no knock warrants. I worry how I would react with a mistaken information or wrong address situation. Unfortunately, probably some officers would go down to #4 buck and I would go down, never knowing what type of gang decided to violently rob my home.

I don't know what would happen in my home were a no-knock warrant / dynamic entry into my house be performed.

No knock warrants are just plan stupid.

A no-knock warrant served on my home wouldn't end well for all involved.

I think I agree with a lot of what Mr Cole said, there's very few times that the police need to rush in, IMHO sometimes the police forget, that they have time on their side. Why not wait till he's going to work or outside doing yard work.
W9ZEB, there's very few people that do know what they would do in such a situation. All you can do is hope you do the right thing.

This scenario seriously scares the crap out of me. Other than the obvious 4th Amendment issues with it, it's just a bad idea any way you look at it. As a law-abiding homeowner, it's going to be a no-win situation no matter what.

I don't care who you are. You come into my house without knocking (READ: BUST MY DOOR DOWN) some one is going to get shot.

Thats the sad hard fact.

The problem is that the person getting shot is going to be a cop with a warrant. And then it's going to be you.

And unfortunately, the warrant being for the wrong address has not kept homeowners from being convicted of murder for killing cops serving the no knock warrant.
