1. A magistrate shall not issue a no-knock warrant to search the person or place named in the search warrant unless an affidavit sworn to before the magistrate: (a) Demonstrates that: (1) The underlying offense: (I) Is punishable as a felony; and (II) Involves a significant and imminent threat to public safety; and (2) Identifying the presence of the peace officer before entering the premises is likely to create an imminent threat of substantial bodily harm to the peace officer or another person; (b) Describes with specificity the factual circumstances as to why there are no reasonable alternatives to effectuate the search of the place or person other than in the manner prescribed by the no-knock warrant; (c) States whether the no-knock warrant can be executed during the day and, if it cannot, describes with specificity the factual circumstances that preclude the no-knock warrant from being executed during the day; and (d) Certifies that the no-knock warrant will be executed under the guidance of a peace officer who is trained in the execution of search warrants.

2. A no-knock warrant issued pursuant to subsection 1 is void if: (a) A peace officer deliberately misrepresents a material fact or deliberately omits material information in an affidavit in support of an application for the no-knock warrant; and (b) When the misrepresented material fact is excluded or the omitted material information is included, the affidavit does not meet the criteria set forth in paragraphs (a) to (d), inclusive, of subsection 1.
