If the officers in the raid had had a warrant, it would've been a no-knock. They didnt have a warrant. Would simply not answering the door have been a reasonable option? Are you allowed to 'not answer the door' when officers knock on it, or is there some subtle eminent domain thing which disallows not answering the door to officers?
This is important to me, please reply.
