Illinois Democrats are pushing for stricter regulations on no-knock warrants and police raids with a new bill being reviewed in state committees. If passed, the legislation would limit when judges can issue no-knock warrants and impose restrictions on how they are carried out. The bill would require raids to occur between 9 a.m. and 7 p.m. with exceptions, mandate officers to wear body cameras during raids, and prohibit them from pointing guns at children unless deemed necessary for safety.
Illinois Rep. Kam Buckner emphasized the importance of safety for both families and law enforcement officers in supporting this bill. While some states like Kentucky, Florida, and Oregon have already implemented similar restrictions on no-knock warrants, concerns have been raised by both Democrats and Republicans regarding the enforcement of these new policies.
The proposed legislation aims to provide clarity, consistency, and support for officers carrying out dangerous duties, reflecting a broader nationwide trend of reevaluating the use of no-knock warrants in police operations.
