The Louisville Metro Council has officially voted to ban the use of “no-knock” search warrants in Jefferson County.
Per the ordinance: “No Louisville Metro Police Department (LMPD) police officer, Louisville Metro Department of Corrections (LMDC) officer, or any other Metro law enforcement or public safety official shall seek, execute, or participate in the execution of a no-knock warrant at any location within the boundaries of Jefferson County.”
Officers reportedly obtained the no-knock warrant as part of a drug investigation centered on two men, but no drugs were found inside Taylor’s home.
Breonna Taylor’s mother, Tamika Palmer, spoke on how happy her daughter would have been to see Breonna’s Law being enacted in Louisville, mentioning how passionate she was about saving lives.
