Homeowner kills Deputy in No-Knock

[Forever_frost]

Just seems to me a person hired to enforce the law ought to know the laws they are enforcing. Apparently he does not. Which doesn't surprise me, given his track record of posts on here.

The law is a complicated and always changing book. It is not surprising that a beat cop doesn't know, by heart, every statute and code.

Has anyone yelled "FUCK TEH POLEICE" yet?

[kingjason]

You're a cop, right? Seems you need to know Texas penal code...


Sec. 46.04. UNLAWFUL POSSESSION OF FIREARM. (a) A person who has been convicted of a felony commits an offense if he possesses a firearm:

(1) after conviction and before the fifth anniversary of the person's release from confinement following conviction of the felony or the person's release from supervision under community supervision, parole, or mandatory supervision, whichever date is later; or

(2) after the period described by Subdivision (1), at any location other than the premises at which the person lives.

I believe federal law and state law differ on this subject.

Oh and fuck no knock warrants. I am a big fan of taking them down outside the residence and then executing your search warrant.

They do. Doesn't state override Federal in such an instance? State's rights and all.

[Rick Modena]

State's rights and all.

Rights?! They don't give a fuck about anybody's rights!

[bcoop]

rights?! They don't give a fuck about anybody's rights!

stop resisting!

You know damn well cops forget all that bullshit as soon as boot camp is over. The first item on the docket is to taze and apprehend all minorities, white trash, africans (people from Africa) and last but not least, ALL Muslim's. Beatings are given out on a per person basis and the cops with the most DWI arrests get the best shifts...

Shit. Where does the sign up line start!!

I believe federal law and state law differ on this subject.

That's easy. If you aren't a federal agent, you don't go around enforcing federal law, provided you aren't actively assisting a federal agent.

State law overrides federal law in this case.

EDIT: I was surprised to read the law, I was totally ignorant of that section. Learn something new every day.

Unless we're discussing one of the enumerated powers of the federal government, the 10th amendment states that the States have supremacy as outside of those enumerated powers and amendments, the federal has no authority to speak on matters.

I like the action! Plus it saves me from having to pick up all those pesky shell's that fly all over the place!

LMAO! Don't you mean evidence?

Oh and fuck no knock warrants. I am a big fan of taking them down outside the residence and then executing your search warrant.

Exactly what I said earlier! I have no idea why this option isn't used more frequently than a no knock warrant other than it's not as glamorous and maybe the department is trying to justify the cost of training and equipment.

stop resisting!

ROFLMAO! I can just picture this

I don't understand.... So if there was pounding at the door, which I would guess is knocking, how is it a no knock? I am guessing the pounding was trying to bust open the door then?

maybe a door breaching round?

[CexMashean]

The door was resisting.
