Help Tracy Ingle find justice. Posted: 3 months ago by JoshSF49
Tracy Ingle was asleep in his house when armed police using a no-knock warrant burst in. Unsure about what was happening, he reached for a non-functioning pistol, but began to drop it as soon as he realized who they were. The gesture was too late -- officers shot him 5 times.
Mercifully, he survived, but despite not finding any drugs in his house, Tracy is being charged with two felony counts of Aggravated Assault, drug paraphernalia and running a drug premises.

From what I can tell, he is charged with drug crimes, so the police did find enough evidence to charge him.
It's hard to say from this story as to whether the no-knock warrant was justified or not. However, I would suggest for those of you who don't want to be served by no-knock warrants, not to deal drugs out of your house.

Tell that to the 97 year old woman in Atlanta who was shot to death by 2 deputies serving a "no-knock" warrant because one of them lied and said an informant had bought drugs from her house... The same deputy who then planted pot in her home to cover his crime...

Asleep in his bed when the window directly opposite came crashing in, Ingle's first instinct was to reach for the pistol he kept by his bedside — a cheap Lorcin automatic. Having never been convicted of a felony, it was perfectly legal for him to have the gun; perfectly legal for him to use it to defend his home against intruders. He had bought it a few years before, he said, because of how bad the neighborhood had gotten. His house had been broken into in the past. A few months before, at a store only a few blocks away on Main Street, a robbery had turned into a shootout, and two people had been killed.
he had no felonies or anything on record.. was a no knock warrant really needed instead of uniformed cops just saying what up.. wheres the judge that signed it is what i wanna know..
