“This bill will effectively end no-knock raids in the United States.”
Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) is introducing the “Justice for Breonna Taylor Act” after talking earlier in the week with Breonna Taylor’s,26-year-old Kentucky EMT, family.
While introducing the legislation on Wednesday, Paul said in a statement that it prohibits “no-knock warrants, which allow law enforcement officials to forcibly enter a home without announcing their authority or purpose.”
This would end the type of warrant, “no-knock,” that led to Taylor’s death. When police forcefully entered her apartment in March on an attempted drug raid, Taylor was shot numerous times, as CNN notes. The raid was conducted on a “no-knock: warrant.
