Wisconsin, 520 U.S. 385 , 117 S.Ct. 1416 , 137 L.Ed.2d 615 (1997), the supreme court held that an officer may dispense with the knock-and-announce requirement when “they have a reasonable suspicion that knocking and announcing their presence, under the particular circumstances, would be dangerous or futile, or that it would inhibit the effective investigation of the crime by, for example, allowing the destruction of evidence.” The requirement of an objection shall not apply to the court’s ruling on any written motion.

Wilson v. Arkansas green
scotus · 1995
2 sentences

2002"The Fourth Amendment's flexible requirement of reasonableness should not be read to mandate a rigid rule of announcement that ignores countervailing law enforcement interests." Wilson, 514 U.S. at 934 , 115 S.Ct. at 1918 .

1999The Court left to the lower courts the task of determining which circumstances make an unannounced entry reasonable and implied that the knock-and-announce requirement could yield "under circumstances presenting a threat of physical violence," or "where police officers have reason to believe that evidence would likely be destroyed if advance notice were given."
