Rand Paul says no-knock warrants 'should be forbidden' in wake of shooting

Why not just issue a warrant to drill a hole for a camera, or use other tech to passively see through walls? Guess that takes away the fun of brute force entry and trigger happy law enforcement that needs to put their training to use.

Civil forfeiture is another huge reason. Not about killing them, but taking their property.

There is precedent for a similar idea that worked well in criminal investigations. A documentary was made about it called Crack House USA https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1991025/ where law enforcement obtained property and the appropriate warrants for their investigation. A real slice of life.
