Indian Army is already divided on caste, religious and regional basis. You have many caste based regiments in Army likeMaratha Regiment,Rajputana RegimentJat RegimentThere are also regiments which are based on region likeBihar Rifles,Dogra RegmentGarwal RiflesMadras RegimentIn an affidavit filed before the Honourable Supreme Court, the Army accepted thatCertain regiments are composed and organised/grouped on reasonable classification lines but the overall process of recruitment is open to all classes.Certain regiments of the Army are organised on lines of classification because social, cultural and linguistic homogeneity has been observed to be a force multiplier as a battle winning factor.The commonality of language and culture only further augments the smooth execution of operation.[1]There is a lot of subjectivity in Army recruitment because personality test plays the most important role in selection.Unlike the recruitments made for civil services, where personality test is only part of the selection process, Army selections are made mainly on the basis of personality test. Even a topper of a written test could be rejected during his personality test.An expert on defense matter told me a few years ago that such type regional, linguistic and castiest regimentation was done by British after 1857 rebellion to ensure that there is no further army coup in India. The Indian Army is divided into so many groups that no Army Chief can enjoy the loyalty of all Regiments and hence he can never think of any coup.You also see a gender discrimination in Army as most posts are not open to women.Even the reserved caste people are not too much interested in joining Army since it is a hazardous job which has high risk of life. I have never heard any movement to get reservation in Army.Further, some of the so called reserved caste people (Like Jats, Gorkhas) are already represented in Army due to their caste or region.This practice has been continued in the independent India because it suits the elected civil government which would never like Army to take over India.As they say ‘Everything is fair in love and War.’Nobody wants to take chances in the matter of safety and security of our country.Hence, the old practices in Army are allowed to continue in the modern world as well.Footnotes[1] Army recruitment done on caste, region, religion lines, SC told

Search Warrants 101The no-knock search warrant is a by-product of our decades-old, and mostly failed, war on drugs. Dealers could and did get rid of their drugs quickly by flushing them down the toilet. Secondly, drug dealers had guns to protect their business. Those without guns were robbed and were soon out of business.Standing at a door and knocking and announcing loudly "Police Search Warrant," and then waiting for someone to come to the door is the way a search warrant is supposed to be executed. However, during the five or more seconds after the police announce their intentions, it gives the residents enough time to arm themselves or to destroy the evidence the police are seeking.The police needed a quicker way to enter and surprize the dealers who then didn't have any time to flush the drugs or to draw their weapons, and the no-knock clause was born. The three advantages police use are known as the three-S's, Superior Manpower, Superior firepower, and Surprise.A no-knock warrant is just like a knock and announce warrant except for allowing the officers serving the warrant authorization to enter without knocking and announcing. On the search warrant, it is usually a box that has to be checked and separately authorized by the issuing judge. The big difference is in the affidavit. Search warrants and affidavits to get search warrants are two separate documents.The search warrant is the result of the affidavit. The search warrant describes the specific location to be searched, identifies who the targets of the investigation are, what is to being searched for, and what types of evidence are can be seized.The affidavit is a summary of the investigation. This is the document that convinces a judge that probable cause exists for the issuance of the warrant. It will document controlled buys or undercover buys, surveillance, and anything else that investigating officers learned, leading them to believe that illegal activity or contraband is located at the target location.In a separate part of the affidavit, the investigating officer must make a case for a no-knock warrant. The two reasons most frequently used are the likelihood of the destruction of evidence and the likelihood of the police being injured by an armed resident.The officer should have specific information that one or both of these events are likely to occur.If the target has prior weapons charges, that can help establish a heightened risk. If the informant said that they saw the dealer with a gun, that also helps. If the target were previously charged with destruction of evidence, this would also be included. If the target has prior charges of assault or resisting arrest or any violent acts, this can also be included. The point is that the officer has to base the request for the no-knock on some facts. If I had a strong case, I would go for the no-knock clause and get it. However, I never used it.First, put yourself in the judge's shoes. The last thing a judge wants to do is deny a no-knock authorization, only to learn later an officer got injured or killed as a result.Every time I requested a no-knock warrant, I got it. So why ask for the no-knock and then not use it, you may ask? Unless you have executed a lot of high-risk search warrants, it hard to understand. But there is this fear of the unknown. When you go to the door, what awaits on the other side of that door is completely unknown and unpredictable.Let's say you go up on the porch and approach the door, and you hear a voice on the inside, say, "Cops! grab my gun." Are you going to knock, announce and stand by, or are you going to crash the door and hope not to get shot?I will say the five-second wait time was probably more like two or three seconds. But when I entered, and I usually was first through the door, I continued to yell "Police Search Warrant" over and over and over. I'm pretty sure the neighbors could hear my loud yells. I didn't want to get shot by mistake, so I made sure everyone knew we were the police.As for the time of day, I have executed warrants at all hours of the day and night. There is something to be said for sneaking up under cover of darkness, but that's not the deciding factor. Before a search warrant is executed, the investigating officer will or should be conducting surveillance to ensure that drugs are being sold. In some cases, an informant will be sent in for a last-minute controlled buy, to make sure the drugs are there. Never think that all warrants are executed in the early morning hours because that's wrong.Executing search warrants is extremely dangerous work. During about five hundred search warrants, I've had guns pointed at me twice during warrant executions and not gotten shot. My secret both times was mostly dumb luck.I believe both types of warrants are equally dangerous. With a knock and announce warrant, you allow the dealer time to arm themselves and take cover. With the no-knock warrant, the dynamic entry may cause a panicked resident to shoot in defense of their home. This is the dilemma officers face executing search warrants.

Guiliani cannot wrench himself away from arguing that the poll watchers not being able to read the ballots is a constitutional issue. The judges keep telling him to cut it out. I heard him say that his strategy is to lose enough times to get his client's complaint to the Supreme Court. He wants all the mail votes in Pennsylvania thrown out as a remedy.Kaylee McEnany is still waving her pile of affidavits from dead voters around on Fox News.I think a lot of strong arming is going on behind the scenes with veiled and not so veiled attempts to disenfranchise the entire mail vote where it benefits them.Here is the attorney representing Pennsylvania who went head to head with Guiliani yesterday. I found his comments to be highly credible:“He was living in his own fantasy”
