Talk:Knock-and-announce
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
What happens if a cop doesn't comply with the knock and announce requirement? Is the search deemed illegal and the evidence obtained excluded, or does the police department simply have to pay damages? --Whitenoise101 05:07, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Search warrants
What if a judge has issued a search warrant, which the police officers carry with them to the premises to be searched? [1]
Is this article primarily about "no knock" warrants, or about warrantless searches, or what? --Uncle Ed 13:33, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

- The article is about a rule that requires police officers to knock and announce their identity, then usually wait a bit before forcibly entering (though see Hudson v. Michigan), before conducting a search at a residence. The rule applies even if they have obtained a warrant. · j·e·r·s·y·k·o talk · 22:34, 25 June 2006 (UTC)
