Essay

The Bill that I am proposing seeks to instate a ban on no-knock warrants in the State. These warrants allow police to enter homes without the need to announce themselves. This lead to very dangerous situations for residents and officers too. What I would like to propose is a bill that would legally require police officers to always identify themselves before entering any residence. With rare exception of immediate threats to life, and would also force require transparency through reporting in police practices. I believe that this bills addition to Minnesotan law would foster and rebuild trust between the Law authorities and their communities that have been hurt in recent years.
