No-knock warrants are unconstitutional.

The 4th Amendment (and several others) mean nothing in America anymore.

Police are unioinized and their behavior standardized to the point where now it would likely take a total restructuring of the entire law enforcement/prison/industrial complex - including DISBANDING THE DEA AND ENDING THE nixon's CRIMINAL WAR ON DRUGS that we've been suffering under for almost fifty years.

You see, when a pubican president signs an executive order, which nixon did to create the DEA and war on drugs out of whole cloth, their EO stands FOREVER.

When a Democratic president attempts to sign an EO he's threatened with impeachment.

This police state needs to be dismantled.
