For arrest warrants, sure. Unless it's a high-risk warrant, that's how the vast majority of them go anyway. This was a search warrant where the guy was holed up in the house and wouldn't let the officers in. My question is what officers should do about that situation. The 4th Amendment gives the government the right to execute proper search warrants, it just doesn't say how.
