After testimony from Anjanette Young, state lawmakers move bill aimed at tightening rules on search warrants – Chicago Tribune/Yahoo

The Illinois legislation would, among other things, ban no-knock warrants unless there’s a threat to the officers or other people. In addition, a search warrant would not be issued when the only offense alleged is possession of narcotics, unless there’s reason to believe that the controlled substance is tied to manufacturing, distributing or selling the drugs. The legislation would also require search warrants to be executed between 9 a.m. and 7 p.m. unless a judge grants an exception.
