[QUOTE="_CY_, post: 2696210, member: 7629"] Lawmakers eye restricting no-knock warrants, mandating police body cams Posted: Jan 20, 2015 State Sen. Vincent Fort has unveiled a package of bills aimed at reforming police practices and procedures, including a proposal that would mandate officers wear body cameras and another that would restrict the use of no-knock warrants. Bou-Bou's law, named after Bou-Bou Phonesavanh, the toddler who was severely injured during a botched no-knock drug raid, would require that police show someone's life would be in danger, or evidence could be destroyed without a no-knock warrant. The bill also would create penalties for officers and agencies that lie to a judge to get a no-knock warrant. There was a stunning new revelation in the case of a 19-month-old Bou-Bou Phonesavanh involving a lie. "We know that there's evidence someone lied, one officer lied to the magistrate in offering information for the no knock warrant," said Senator Vincent Fort. Many Georgia lawmakers, along with both conservative and progressive activists, support such restrictions and state house lawmakers are looking at another proposal to ban no-knocks between the hours of 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. Fort also introduced a bill to require body cameras on cops, which he said, would protect police as well as the public.
