Anyone have a strong opinion on no-knock warrants?

For me, the sheer volume of officers breaking into the wrong house and shooting people without a warrant is conclusive grounds. The potential for disposing of evidence is the principal argument for no knock warrants, yet the chance of someone flushing a bag of cocaine down the toilet isn't worth the sacrifice of innocent life.

They are a bad concept from a legal and tactical standpoint. They needlessly endanger the safety of the officers themselves.

Nothing prevents you from kicking the door down after introducing yourself and knocking a few times, even if you run the danger of destroying evidence. Executing a no knock warrant only makes sense when someone is being put to death. That is not a law enforcement approach; it is an extermination tactic.

I believe it puts both residents and officers in undue danger, and it is a terrible notion in general. How is the individual being served supposed to recognize that it's the police simply kicking through the door? What if they accidentally give the wrong address or identity?

Very little of the risk is eliminated by the no knock. Surprise isn't always a good thing. In many instances, the suspect's reaction may have been what provoked the violence. The same way any homeowner would respond if someone broke into their house. Defend yourself. with a weapon if necessary.

No-knock warrants are a hotly debated topic. They are typically viewed as a tool to protect civilians and police enforcement personnel by enabling them to enter a residence without giving notice. These may, nonetheless, be considered a violation of the Fourth Amendment, which safeguards people from irrational search and seizure. In addition, there have been several instances of law enforcement personnel acting unduly aggressively or with excessive force when executing a no-knock warrant. Because of these factors, many people support tougher laws governing no-knock warrants.

I'm a marketer and I'm having a hard time getting my clients to listen to me.

But every time I go into a meeting with a new client, they ignore everything I say. They just want to talk about their product. They don't seem interested in learning how to market it better.

DO YOU JUST ASSUME THE COST OF YOUR MARKETING ACTIVITIES? I am looking to allocate their cost in the marketing budget in a way that won't rely on several layers of assumptions. How do you reliably estimate the cost of different marketing activities (email, social, web, etc) when you don't have specific people or tools allocated to each function and costs are spread across many channels? Ads seems the easiest, but even then there's time and overheads... I've been looking for a reliable model.
