But your excuse, the suspects are flushing drugs down the toilet. How much do they have if they are able to get it down the toilet in one flush? We must be talking about pretty small amounts. So if that is the status of the war on drugs in your area, I'm thinking the war is won, since only the smallest amounts are out there available, and we can cut funding for that program.
I'd list the ones where cops died doing a no knock warrant on minimal amounts of drugs, but I'm sure you use that as a justification to show how you need the no knock warrants.
