No-knock warrants; prohibit issuance of.
HB 560 would require law enforcement officers to provide notice of their identity, authority, and purpose before entering a home or dwelling to execute any warrant, and to read and give a copy of the warrant to the person being searched or the person in control of the premises. It also restricts the issuance of no-knock warrants (warrants allowing entry without notice) to specific courts, including county, chancery, circuit, or the Mississippi Supreme Court. This bill directly affects police officers and residents during warrant executions by standardizing procedures and limiting when officers may enter without prior notice.
