Leaving politics to the side, many crimes were "victimless," The answer to that it to change the law to make the actions legal. I don't see how tossing out evidence if the police announce themselves but don't knock when serving a warrant helps people like Lenny Bruce or the publishes or Eros magazine much. They can be pushed around by law enforcement or rigidly controlled by laws after the police knock. The case in front of the court wasn't even a case of the police being forbidden to enter without knocking, they won't be tried for criminal trespass if they serve a warrant without knocking, but the evidence gets tossed. If the contents of a published magazine or a well known comic are considered a crime than tossing out the evidence the cops find at the scene won't make a lot of difference. Sufficient evidence is already quite public. I really don't see how these cases are a relevant factor when considering no knock warrants.
