In 99% of the cases I oppose NO KNOCK searches. Here is another example of total abuse.
A neighborhood snitch reported an "ailing dog on the sidewalk" in front of the Harris home in Chicago, Illinois. The couple, age 77 and 80, then had their home invaded by masked men. The raid came complete with 2 SWAT Teams, grenades through the windows, and a total of at least 40 officers. No evidence of any drugs or dogfighting crime was found in the wake of the raid.
As they picked up the pieces they were then approached by a building inspector, who then ordered them to vacate their home of 40 years. They had never received any violations or warnings before.
Now their lives are shattered and everyone is worse off. At least nobody was caught walking around their home holding a golf club.
You didn't think those loose gutters would go unnoticed, did ya punk?
Family shattered after raid, home loss

R.J. Harris, who is 77, was in bed when a noise jolted him awake.Bam. What was that?
Bam. It sounded like an explosion.
Bam. The front door swung open and officers in masks swarmed inside, pointing rifles.
Police! Hands up! Police!
