And trust me, you want these warrant exceptions. You don’t want the police to have to go to a judge, possibly on the weekend? to ask for a warrant for a violent situation in someone’s home. You want police to be able to use their good judgment and years of experience and justify it after the fact

No, I really don’t. There have been far too many cases of no-knock warrants served on the wrong houses, including people getting shot because of it.

Shoving matches or a gunowner brandishing his weapon to police to resist is not something anyone wants to see

It’s weird how nobody thinks that the police could be the one to back down.

especially when you consider that the underlying foundations of todays ruling have been in place for a long while now and no one seemed to create a big fuss back then.

Didja just skip the part about how this overturns precedent?
