Why did the marijuana and no-knock warrant

Why did the marijuana and no-knock warrant amendments get combined on the ballot?

I'm frustrated because I want to make misdemeanor marijuana possession a low priority and don't like no-knock warrants, but they're tied together on the ballot. Can't they be separate issues?

Combining the two issues was a questionable decision, but it's likely that people who support one would also be in favor of the other, given their shared nature.

No-knock search warrants lack justification, as they often lead to disproportionate and excessive force. If there's little evidence to warrant a raid, it's unlikely that the occupant would destroy evidence, and the police could simply wait for the occupant to secure their pets before entering. The only apparent reason for no-knock raids is the potential for police to engage in violent behavior, such as shooting dogs or terrorizing people.

The risks associated with no-knock warrants far outweigh any potential benefits, making them an unacceptable practice.

Knocking on the door is a reasonable approach, especially if the police are concerned about safety. They could use a loudspeaker to alert the occupants of their presence, giving everyone time to react. Allowing no-knock home invasions puts both officers and residents at risk, as it's unclear who's entering the home. In a state where residents have the right to defend themselves against intruders, it's particularly concerning.
