Minneapolis mayor proposes changes to no-knock warrants

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey proposed permanently banning the city's police officers from using no-knock or no-announcement warrants earlier this week.

Instead, Frey said, members of the Minneapolis Police Department should be required to wait at least 20 seconds outside of entrances prior to starting a search during the daylight hours and 30 seconds at night, according to MPRNews.

"This is the most forward-thinking policy in the country," Frey said in a press conference.

The proposed new rule comes roughly six weeks after a Minneapolis police officer killed a 22-year-old Black man during an apartment search.

1. "... Police Department should be required to wait at least 20 seconds outside of entrances prior ...

"... to starting a search ..."

I'm not sure what that means. Do the police have to open the door, notify the residents, get some type of acknowledgement, and then wait 20 seconds? My concern is, the way that is written, the police can show up, wait 20 seconds, then open the door and proceed inside. I assume that they can't actually do the latter, but I do wonder what is required.
