I strongly suggest we rethink the laws we are enforcing, as opposed to keeping things illegal while restricting the police. The war on drugs has been an abysmal failure at everything except restricting citizen's rights and increasing the violence in crime and law enforcement. And that is just one area of law where the cops get the blame but it should be on the legislator's shoulders.

No knock warrants are but one of the things, like civil asset forfeiture, that I believe need to be banned. But I'm always willing to listen to reason:
1. Given the situation that we are in with political police forces (an are buddy Art puts Houston in the running) what do you suggest to use to keep enough pressure on departments to keep no-knock warrants under control?
2. What, besides drugs and a non-family associated kidnapping, is a no knock warrant needed for?
3. We agree that the war on drugs has been a dismal failure in its original purpose and one of the worse things in terms of trampling individual rights. I'm not in favor of legalizing even pot but what is going on now is awful. What do you suggest that we do differently.
