15-20 seconds was enough time for Banks, who was in the shower and never heard the knocks.
You can disagree with the reasonableness of 30 seconds, but it does violate what the SCOTUS has set as a similar precedent, which is all I was saying.
If someone doesn't answer, come back a few hours later, or the next day and knock again. A search warrant was never intended to be an execution order, and convenience of the cops be damned if avoiding inconvenience means you have to batter someone's door down, guns at the ready, because he was in the shower or asleep when you knocked.
Exactly, you can argue the reasonableness of it as seen by you...But they didn't violate what the SCOTUS has set as a precedent.
