Pardon the bleg, but I'm wondering if any readers could help me locate materials on typical procedures police follow when executing search warrants inside the home. There has been a lot written recently on what happens before and during the entry (see, e.g., Radley Balko's report on the use of SWAT teams and no-knock searches), but I'm interested in what happens inside the home after the police enter and begin to actually look for the evidence.

  In particular, I'd like to find materials on how invasive the searches are; how much property damage typically results; how much of a mess the police make; etc. This issue doesn't come up much in the cases because whether property was damaged or the police made a mess of the place isn't readily usable as a basis for suppression following the execution of a warrant. Such claims arise occasionally in 1983 and Bivens civil actions, but the cases seem to be pretty sporadic.

  Anyway, I've talked to various police officers and FBI agents about this question over the years, but I'd like to find sources that are a bit more grounded (and cite-able) than my casual conversations. Oh, and I'm particularly interested in the invasiveness of executing warrants for drugs, although other types of cases are of interest as well. Thanks.
