Not knocking implies that you live there and have a right to utilize the residence which flies in the face of Amendment #3. The fact that they’re geared like the military, etc just makes this even more obvious to me.

Add to the fact that police will be stationed there over multiple days to investigate the domicile… sounds like quartering to me.

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.

The 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.
