No-Knock Warrants

This article is very well written and demonstrates the current Police State in which we live. Give it a read and discuss it. Here it is. 

The idea of no-knock warrants has been widely discussed. Max has a couple fantastic pieces on the subject which you can read here and here.

There is a LEO who attends my church. I have discussed with him the idea of no-knock warrants and the dangers it poses to citizens, our rights and even police. We talked about what happens if they get the wrong address. He laughed, somewhat embarrassed, that his department had done that a few times. But he wouldn't give me a solution to what I should do if they come barging into my home in the middle of the night. The courts and LEAs have designed it to where the Constitution has been made WEAK in restricting law enforcement from violating our civil rights under Amendment 4. 

Use an example from any of the stories linked and put yourself in a no-knock situation. We are in a position in this society that at any given time we have broken a law. A friend of mine went to the Police Academy here in Florida and they actually told him the following "You can pull someone over if you see them run over a reflector when they're changing lanes. That's destruction of State property." The question is why is that a law/procedure? It all leads up to the stop.

Watch this great video from a lawyer giving a lecture. It's quite lengthy but well worth the time. Especially in the preservation of your civil liberty.

What ever happened to "Innocent until proven guilty" ? 

This video shows a LEO happy to arrest someone for observing the 4th Amendment that she was happy to violate if they would have let her. He asks for her warrant and his friend gets arrested because she felt "threatened" there may have been weapons on the other side of the door. 

Remember the "dehumanizing stare" that lead Miami police to beat down a 14 year-old? Here it is. These guys are cowards and bullies. One and the same. They ought to be purged from every department and thrown in jail for their crimes. 

Let's read the 4th Amendment together, shall we? 

"The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized."

Seems fairly cut and dry, right? Obviously the states have been violating the Bill of Rights as well as the federal government. The job of the your state is to protect you from the federal government. See the 10th Amendment, here.

The question you need to ask yourself is whether or not your state should face the same consequences as the federal government when SHTF happens.
