Pittsburgh City Council Tables Discussion Of "No-Knock Bill" For 2 Weeks

By: KDKA-TV News Staff

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) - Pittsburgh City Council has decided to table its discussion of a "no-knock bill" for two weeks.

The bill proposed banning "no-knock" warrants within the city limits.

It would prevent law enforcement agents from serving a warrant without announcing their presence.

The executive director of the Citizen Police Review Board says no-knock warrants are already being executed across the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and that they're illegal.
