The Supreme Court voted 5-4 in 2006 in favor of no knock raids. washingtonpost.com Scalia was just dead wrong on this. Wonder what his opinion is of stare decisis. >>The following, from Justice Scalia’s opinion in Hudson: Another development over the past half-century that deters civil-rights violations is the increasing professionalism of police forces, including a new emphasis on internal police discipline. Even as long ago as 1989, we felt it proper to “assume” that unlawful police behavior “would be dealt with appropriately” by the authorities, but we now have increasing evidence that police forces across the United States take the constitutional rights of citizens seriously. There have been “wide ranging reforms in the education, training, and supervision” of police officers (cite omitted). [...] Moreover, modern police forces are staffed with professionals; it is not credible to assert that internal discipline, which can limit successful careers, will not have a deterrent effect. There is also evidence that the increasing use of various forms of citizen review can enhance police accountability. cato-at-liberty.org
