On Oct. 8, the U.S. Supreme Court heard a case it should never have had to deal with in the first place. The issue before the court is how long police officers have to wait after they knock on someone's door and announce that they have a search warrant. Is 20 seconds enough? The case concerns Lashawn Lowell Banks, who says he did not hear the police at his door. The police, after waiting 15 to 20 seconds, made a forced entry. They searched and found crack cocaine and firearms; they also questioned Banks.
