DOJ limits chokeholds, 'no knock' warrants by federal officers
Fox News
Federal law enforcement officers are prohibited from the use of "chokeholds" and "carotid restraints" in most instances, and instances in which agents can perform "no-knock" or unannounced entries have been limited, the U.S. Justice Department announced Tuesday.
The changes apply to federal agents who work under the Department of Justice, or, in some cases, to local police departments who work with the DOJ through a joint task force.
The new DOJ policy also decreases the circumstances in which "no knock" entries are permitted, but allows for such entries when an agent "has reasonable grounds to believe that knocking and announcing the agent’s presence would create an imminent threat of physical violence to the agent and/or another person," the DOJ said.
