Description
With a typical search warrant, police are supposed to knock and announce themselves. But with no-knock warrants, police can force their way into people’s homes without warning.
This six-part investigative podcast from The Washington Post sheds light on how easy it is to plan, obtain and execute no-knock warrants — one of the most intrusive and dangerous police tactics. We explore the consequences when these warrants become the rule, rather than the exception.
Hosted by investigative reporters Jenn Abelson and Nicole Dungca, “Broken Doors” is about how no-knock warrants are deployed in the American justice system — and what happens when accountability is flawed at every level.

Man, there's some backwater inbred corrupt mf's down there.
Fourth Amendment????
No knock warrants should be outlawed! People have a right to protect their house, and someone busts thru the door they could be shot before they had time to say they were cops, so it's dangerous for the police officers as well as the residents. Resident shoots because they don't know it's a cop, then they got fired back at, they get hurt or killed and innocent bystanders also get hurt or killed. Breonna Taylor anyone??? No knocks are a lose-lose for everyone involved and are nothing but a way to cause unnecessary injuries and death to civilians and officers alike. After Breonna was killed there was just no way I could accept these as necessary for anything. RIP Breonna.
Good! Some investigative series have a lot of unnecessary fluff; this one does not. I binged this while packing and by the end of the series and throughout the day I couldn’t help but talk with a serious southern drawl.
