It sounds to me that the US Congress is the only body that can ban these atrocities nationwide. Is this true?
> Use of no-knock warrants has increased substantially over time. By one estimate, there were 1,500 annually in the early 1980s whereas by 2010 there were 60,000–70,000 no-knock or quick-knock raids conducted by local police annually, the majority of which were looking for marijuana.
> Currently, Florida, Oregon, Tennessee, and Virginia ban no-knock warrants; however, state-level bans do not affect federal law enforcement. Thirteen states have laws explicitly permitting no-knock warrants, and the remaining states issue them based on a judge's discretion.

- shadowfacts 5y agoThe Supreme Court could rule that no-knock warrants are unconstitutional, but that's not going to happen with this court, so yes, practically speaking, it's on Congress.
