You have permission to edit this article.LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- After three hours of discussion, Louisville Metro Council's public safety committee voted unanimously Wednesday in approving&nbsp;what is being called "Breonna's Law," proposed legislation that would regulate "no-knock" warrants.&nbsp;ACLU Kentucky, however, wants Metro Council members to go further than that and ban the warrants.&nbsp;As it stands now, "Breonna's Law" would require officers to complete a detailed warrant application that must be signed off by the chief of police and other high-ranking officers with the Louisville Metro Police Department. No-knock warrants could only be sought in cases involving a threat of harm or death to officers and civilians. The proposed law would also require officers to use body cameras.&nbsp;"The use of a no-knock warrant created a chain of events that has damaged the black community and the city of Louisville as a whole," said Keturah Herron with ACLU Kentucky "How different the city could look right now had there been a ban on no-knock warrants. Instead of mourning Breonna Taylor on her birthday, which is this Friday, her family could be celebrating her life in a different way."&nbsp;Mayor Greg Fischer was asked about his thoughts on a no-knock warrant ban and said he fully supports looking at the pros and the cons.&nbsp;"We need to understand what the national best practice is behind this," Fischer said. "Is there a rationale for using them under very special circumstances? Normally, I know some people don't like this about me, but I want to take the time to get the facts before we make a decision based on what the best practice in the country is."&nbsp;The Public Safety Committee said it will meet again Monday to discuss amendments to "Breonna's Law." The proposal is expected to be voted on by Metro Council next week.Related Stories:Copyright 2020 WDRB Media.
