Bans no-knock warrants for federal police and agencies getting federal money.
This bill would stop 'no-knock' warrants, where police enter homes without warning. Federal police officers would always have to announce who they are and why they are there before entering. State and local police agencies would also need to follow this rule if they get money from the Department of Justice.
Today, federal law enforcement officers may sometimes execute warrants without prior notice, and state and local agencies may also do so depending on local rules. If this bill becomes law, federal officers would always have to announce their authority and purpose before executing a warrant. State and local police agencies that receive money from the Department of Justice would also be required to follow this rule, starting in the government's budget year after the bill is enacted.
