If you remove the no-knock warrant, you remove the need for SWAT, in most cases. Clearly, this is not allowed. Despite a long history of military or military-style tactics intersecting civilians with abhorrent results, SWAT is still a common form of modern policing. Why?
These are the Police I can get behind. This is what a few bad apples, immediately dealt with by honest professionals looks like. This is the Policing we should have. Police Chief Hank Stawinski, I tip my hat to you, and there's a beer for you in NJ anytime you care to claim it.
'Digital Protection' would be a stretch. If the Word Document had been password protected, there would be a leg to stand on. This 'protection' is more akin to changing the font on the redacted bits to DingBats and then uploading the fully editable collaborative document. The 'protection' would be analogous to taping a black strip of paper on one edge, then placing that easily lifted strip over the area to be redacted, followed by sending this document directly to the paper- rather than sending a copy of the paper with redact-o-tron strips in place, unable to be moved. They created an Advent Calendar expecting it to be Fort Knox- their expectations were not well founded. Saying "You Peeked!" and acting butt-hurt is their response. Too little, too late seems to be a theme for this organization.
