Tennessee Senate Passes Bill to Prohibit No-Knock Warrants

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (April 15, 2021) – On Monday, the Tennessee Senate passed a bill that would prohibit “no-knock” warrants and take a step toward nullifying several Supreme Court opinions in practice and effect.
Sen. Mike Bell (R-Riceville) introduced Senate Bill 1380 (SB1380) on Feb. 11. The legislation would make several police reforms, including a ban on so-called “no-knock” warrants. Under the proposed law, a magistrate would be prohibited from issuing a  search warrant, “which expressly authorizes a peace officer to dispense with the requirement to knock and announce the peace officer’s presence prior to execution of the warrant.”
The proposed law would also place limits on police use of choke-holds, require Tennessee law enforcement agencies to develop policies on de-escalation, and institute reporting requirements relating to the use of force.
