BIRMINGHAM, Ala — Birmingham Mayor Randall Woodfin banned the city’s police department from authorizing no-knock search warrants.
Woodfin said the change was born from the work of the city’s public safety task force, started last year in the wake of the deaths of George Floyd by a Minneapolis police officer and Breonna Taylor, shot to death in her home by police in Kentucky who had a no-knock search warrant.
