> On Dec. 23, Rep. Rep. Kristina Schultz (D), Rep. Matthew Santonastaso (R), and Rep. Glenn Bailey (R) prefiled House Bill 135 (HB135) for introduction in the 2023 legislative session. The legislation would ban New Hampshire law enforcement officers from seeking, executing, or participating in “no-knock” warrant.

Good, they should be ended.

No knocks are a coping mechanism for lazy police work.

Correct me if I’m wrong, didn’t SCOTUS say they were constitutional? Don’t get wrong, I think this is incorrect but isn’t that the ruling nonetheless?

The SCOTUS has frequently ruled that the constitution is made of toilet paper

Also, SCOTUS is never granted the power to rule on constitutionality in the constitution (not that I think it has been a net negative to have some body rule on constitutionality, even watered down version).

Late 90s court case — yes, no knock warrants are constitutional. It was a unanimous decision, btw.
