yeah, let's make it legal for them to do this....that way they don't have to bother with the cover ups and tearing down the walls and all that trouble...great idea.
yeah, let's make it legal for them to do this....that way they don't have to bother with the cover ups and tearing down the walls and all that trouble...great idea.
It just takes one abuse of power...why even give them the oportunity to do something like this...
When the shit goes down in the United States..and it will go down-the people will take their country back-they will have all the cards...they have lists of all the dissidents-thanks to the illegal witretapping-they have all the names-and they now have the means to take those people out..making it extremely difiicult to bring democracy to this country.
There is a reason the founding fathers-granted not the most desirable fellows-put in place all those checks against the authority-now they are being stripped away...and when the shit goes down the authorities will know just who to take out first.
But it won't matter...we will take the power back.
-on a side note-if a police chief decides he doesn't like you and your family you could ge tthe same treatement as the panthers did in the 80's...a bullet in the head. no questions asked.
does it need to happen on a daily basis for it to be a bad call? how many drugs or weapons can one hide in under 10 seconds?? that would only be 1 flush from the toilet, if that, and even w/ that they'd have to have the drugs already out.
standin above the crowd
he had a voice that was strong and loud and
i swallowed his facade cos i'm so
eager to identify with
someone above the crowd
someone who seemed to feel the same
someone prepared to lead the way

or they could wedge a pipe between the door and the floor to give themselves more than 10 seconds. besides, haven't you ever watched goodfellas? she flushed a huge amount of coke and also hid a gun in her panties while they were still banging on the door.

I couldn't care about how much drugs are flushed in 10 seconds. but one can arm themself with a semi-auto in well under 10 seconds.

yeah, because when warrants are served, it is usually in a nice house where the family is sitting around singing Barney songs and eating Christmas turkey.

Professional judgement. Much in the same way I'm sure much of your job depends on your professional judgement. Much like police don't pull over every speeder, they use professional judgement.

You're comfortable arming someone on behalf of society and then giving them "professional judgement"? Seems like the gun in their hand already contradicts the first part of that term.

I have no problem with giving people especially law abiding citizens guns
And do you agree with the professional judgement comment?
yes. it is unlikely that police are going to use this judgement to kick in a door to serve a trespassing or forgery warrant. or a bag of marijuana. or pissing in public. but when someone has a warrant for trafficking hard drugs (these are usually the ones with guns) or someone with a long and violent history, I'm all for the 'professional judgement' that calls for kicking the door in without knocking.
do they ram every door down now? why would they start doing that now. The last things cops need is to put even more questions in peoples mind and have people more suspect of them than they already are. They will ram down the wrong doors a few times and there would be such a public outcry for busting down the door's of people every time. And as i saw surferdude answer...they are professionals and they are allowed judgement.

Why not? You've completely sanctioned the behavior if you simply think it's is a matter of "professional judgement". If your entire belief rests on a hope that this won't be used in those situation, I suspect you'll end up being disappointed.
but when someone has a warrant for trafficking hard drugs (these are usually the ones with guns) or someone with a long and violent history, I'm all for the 'professional judgement' that calls for kicking the door in without knocking.
Ok. Would you therefore be willing to codify that, rather than making it a matter of "professional judgement"? Otherwise you're just setting up a contradiction in the statment above by basically saying:
"I'm all for professional judgement if that judgement matches my own standards" -- that doesn't make much sense.
"I'm all for professional judgement if that judgement matches my own standards" -- that doesn't make much sense.
I'm all for professional judgement if that judgement is from people who are more trained than I, more knowledgeable than I and more experiened than I, and are legally allowed to make those decisions. That's why it's PROFESSIONAL judgement and not the avg publics judgement.

I'm all for professional judgement too...for professionals who earn their money based on mutual exchange.
I'm not all for professional judgement for a man whose job it is to potentially hold a gun in my face (or your face) supposedly based on our own interests.
You all seem to be advocating two conflicting interests here: the law, and professional judgment. You can't have both.

I'm sure some police will take this as open license to kick down every door; but i'm willing to bet that most aren't going to abuse this change in procedure.
I am definitely for professional judgement for a man whose job allows tehm to possibly hold a gun in my face. That man also is allowed to make a professional judgement on whether or not simply ask me a question, talk with me to get more information and then he can determine (professional judgement) if he needs to make an arrest or if a warning is better off. I may have a different definition for professional judgement but police are professionals and they are allowed decisions b/c of that. It so happens their decisions can be life and death...but i'd venture to say that most of their decisions on the day to day things are far from pulling guns.
The law and professional judgement always play together. Ask a doctor, lawyer, surveyor, architecht.

Wrong. You can certainly apply professional judgement while upholding the law. Millions of professional people use professional judgement everyday in their professional life. They don't require a rulebook for how to go about every moment of their job. But they are held accountable for lapses in their professional judgement.
Just because you give somebody the ability to use professional judgement does not mean they are not accountable for their actions.

We have not allowed lawyers to hold a monopoly on the law. We have not allowed surveyors to hold a monopoly on where our property lines are drawn.

We have a military. We have several seperate law enforcement groups. Law enforcement groups all have oversight type committees. We have a constitution right to bear arms. The law does not stop you from using force.
Police can use force to kick in a door. If they are found to have used poor professional judgement in doing so they will be held accountable for their actions. You can kick in the same door if you so desire and if you are found guilty of breaking a law you will be held accountable for your actions. The option to use force is there for us all to use. The accountability for using said force is there on any who use it.

that's right, the police also know that which is why they should take even greater precaution in executing their own professional judgment...if they excercise poor judgement they can lose that ability and privaledge to make those decisions.
