Abstract

Prohibits the issuance of warrants, including no-knock warrants, that permit entry by an officer to a house, store, or other building without first audibly declaring the officer's office and business. Requires law enforcement officers serving an arrest warrant at a house or a search warrant at a house, store, or other building to audibly declare the officer's office and business and wait at least thirty seconds for compliance before entry. Requires officers serving a warrant to do so while wearing an authorized uniform and activated body-worn video camera.
