A legislative committee could vote Monday on three proposals to end or sharply curtail the use of no-knock search warrants by Maine police.
The proposals are part of a nationwide response to the March 2020 killing of Breonna Taylor, a 26-year-old Black woman who was asleep in her Louisville, Kentucky, apartment when drug officers executed a no-knock search warrant connected to her ex-boyfriend, but the officers ended up shooting and killing her instead.
