    Bill puts limits on no-knock warrants

    Law enforcement agencies would face new restrictions on using no-knock warrants under legislation to be introduced in the Georgia House on Thursday.

    House Bill 56, sponsored by Rep. Kevin Tanner, R-Dawsonville, would, in most cases, bar the use of no-knock warrants between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m.

    It also requires law enforcement agencies to develop written policies and training for the use of the warrants, require a supervising officer to present when the warrant is executed, and requires police to swear that not using a no-knock warrant would pose “a significant and imminent danger to human life or imminent danger of evidence being destroyed.”

    The bill comes seven months after at 19-month-old was severely wounded when Habersham County sheriff’s deputies executed a no-knock warrant at 3 a.m. A flash stun grenade was tossed into the playpen where the child was sleeping.

    Police said an informant told them drugs were being sold from the house. No drugs or guns were found. A Habersham County grand jury declined to indict officers involved, although federal authorities are said to be investigating the case.

    Bounkham “Bou Bou” Phonesavanh’s nose was detached from his face after a Habersham SWAT team member lobbed the stun grenade into his playpen.

    Tanner spent 18 years as a Dawson County sheriff’s deputy and has executed no-knock warrants himself. He has several Democrats and Republicans as co-sponsors.

    A good start, but it needs to be stronger and nationwide.

    Good. It's a start. One has to wonder though, why allow no knock raids at all?

    So which would be a more productive solution of these two choices?

    #1 - Federal Law - Force all States to comply
    #2 - City, County, State Law - Each entity decides for themselves to create a version for themselves

    Each has benefits and problems. Federal Law acts like the 9th and 10th Amendments dont exist. City County State solution wont be acknowledged everywhere, and may not even be enforced. Feel free to add to the list as this isnt the only way to solve the problem.
