Now, Associate Justice of the Supreme Court Antonin Scalia can tell us about the increasing "professionalism" of police forces across this great land, but that doesn't make it so. Radley Balko has written a lot about the many "no-knock" raids gone wrong in city after township after shire in this country; he's documented that it's happening far, far more often than most of us believe; and he's made it clear that damn little, if anything, is being done to correct the problem. In fact, he's documented that time after time, a double standard comes into play, in which civilian subjects citizens are held to higher standards of behavior than are the allegedly professional and well-trained police.
Tim Lynch (who mentions Balko in this piece):
If policymakers are not ready to end the drug war, they should at least scale back the SWAT raids and no-knock warrants, videotape the raids that do occur, and abolish the double standards that are in place when the police themselves are being investigated for illegal conduct.
Or we can accept that "increasing professionalism" so admired by Scalia. After all, if you're not guilty, you have nothing to hide, right? Why should you lawyer up, ya perp?
