Fox 5 reports that during a low key, Georgia Third District Congressional candidate meet and greet breakfast in Coweta County, State Senator Mike Crane dropped a bombshell.
Crane told the audience that state law prohibits police from conducting “no-knock” searches of citizen’s homes.
Crane then said about those police raids: “You come to my house, kick down my door and I have an opportunity, I will shoot you dead. And every one of you should do the same.”
Crane is considered a front runner, along with former West Point Mayor Drew Ferguson for the Third District Congressional seat vacated by long time congressman Lynn Westmoreland.
When Fox 5 reached out to Senator Crane, he doubled down on his statements:
“If somebody kicks down my door unannounced they will meet with resistance, I guarantee you.”
Legal experts reiterate that no-knock warrants are legal in Georgia.
