HB1010

Mississippi HB1010 prohibits no-knock warrants and mandates notice and warrant reading during warrant execution at residences.

Mississippi HB1010 amends the state code to prohibit the issuance of no-knock warrants. It mandates that any person executing a warrant at a residence must give appropriate notice of their identity, authority, and purpose before entering. The executing officer must read and provide a copy of the warrant to the person to be searched or arrested, or to the person in apparent control of the premises. The bill also limits who can issue no-knock warrants to specific county or circuit judges. It affects law enforcement officers and individuals in their residences.
