Answer:

Allison and Robert should request a No-Knock Warrant.

Step-by-step explanation:

A search warrant is a legally binding document that must be acquired by law enforcement officers or investigators before they can open up, enter and search a building. There are various types of search warrants.

Standard search and seize warrants require that law enforcement officers have to identify themselves and allow the occupant a significant amount of time to react. They'd have to knock or ring the doorbell in this situation.

Because law enforcement agents began to see the continued destruction of evidence before they got in, it necessitated the design of another kind of search warrant - the No-Knock Warrant.

By comparison, Allison and Robert will enter the suspect's house violently without advance warning with a No-Knock Warrant, so that if there is any evidence that can be used against the suspect, they will confiscate and protect it to prevent it from being destroyed.

Other types of warrants are:

  1. Warrant to Arrest
  2. Warrant for Bench
  3. Arrest Warrant for Child Custody etc
