Minnesota names reveal our connections, struggles for inclusion

March 14, 2022

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey has announced a plan that bans no-knock warrants in all but the most extreme circumstances.

He rolled out his proposal for a new policy for serving search warrants in the city on Monday in the wake of the shooting death of Amir Locke during a warrant raid in February.

Under the new rules, police would have to wait 20 seconds before entering during the daytime and 30 seconds for nighttime searches. Searches would be classified by their relative risk. The plan also includes regular civilian review of search video and public disclosure of warrant data.
