The only downsides I see to a no-knock forced entry are damage to doorways (possibly unnecessary), scaring the residents (possibly unnecessary) and possibly creating an incident where the residents think the cops are armed intruders. But if all the TV accounts are correct, the cops burst in shouting Police! or FBI! as loud as they can, so there is no doubt. I don't think the right to privacy extends to granting a window of time to destroy evidence sought in a warrant. And I think that forced entries will be the norm mostly in situations where the cops believe there are armed criminals inside ready to pounce.
