A diverse group of supporters are pushing to restrict no-knock search warrants in Illinois.
The city of Chicago settled a lawsuit with Anjanette Young for $2.9 million after Young was handcuffed while police searched her home in 2019, only to learn later they had the wrong address.
Young told the Illinois House Judiciary – Criminal Committee on Monday there is lasting harm when people feel violated by those in power.
Ed Sullivan of the Illinois State Rifle Association expressed support for House Bill 1611 to ban most no-knock warrants.
The bill has more than 50 opponents, including sheriff’s offices, police departments and law enforcement associations.
