No knock warrants should require written sign off starting with the officer requesting one, their supervisor, and all the way up the the chief of police's office. All parties that signs off on it, including thee judge, should have no immunity from civil lawsuits or criminal prosecution if the justification for the no knock cause of the warrant is not found / justified after the execution of the warrant. A warrant for a drug dealer that could be violent and no drugs found, all parties that signed off for the warrant can be sued in civil court, and criminal charges applied to all if any civilians are injured or killed in these cases, including the judge.

There needs to be full accountibility for everyone involved in the approval process of these types of warrants, including possible jail time even for judges that sign off on them. This way, they would only be used when there is NO other way to prevent innocent deaths or injury. Kind of like a use in absolute last resorts situations.
