The Louisville, Kentucky, metro council unanimously voted to pass an ordinance called “Breonna’s Law” on Thursday, banning no-knock search warrants in wake of Breonna Taylor’s death.
The ordinance also requires all Louisville Metro Police Department officers to be equipped with an operating body camera while carrying out a search.
The news comes after the Louisville Metropolitan Police Department announced on May 21 that it would require all sworn officers to wear body cameras and change how the department carries out search warrants.
Fischer last week fired the LMPD police chief after officials discovered two police officers involved in fatal shooting of a man during a protest over Taylor’s and George Floyd’s death had not activated their body cameras.
Kentucky Senator Rand Paul on Thrusday introduced a bill called the Justice for Breonna Taylor Act which would ban no-knock warrants for federal law enforcement.
