Should cops be allowed to alert the press BEFORE serving a search warrant?

It's pretty hard to deem someone INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY if their splattered all over the 5:00 news in hand cuffs. (Now that looks pretty guilty)

Answer:
The "Alert" to the press, could have been a police band scanner. Routine police radio traffic are not customarily encrypted and every news team in the country owns a scanner. I have to agree with another post, that this sounds like an arrest warrant, not a search warrant, unless you are stipulating that the arrest was the result f the search, and open warrants are a matter of public record. Although the execution of a warrant is not public record information, any journalist (with a scanner) can take the public record info and the radio traffic and do the math themselves. As far as contaminating the jury pool, most people know that "arrest" does not mean "guilty" and unless it is a particularly heinous crime or a case of organized crime, the chance that there is enough media coverage to prevent the courts from empaneling an unbiased jury is minimal, but your attorney can try a change of venue request if that is a concern.

That sounds more like an arrest warrant to me but why not, most people don't watch local news anyways.
then there are those proven guilty in a court of law and set free.

Sure, but it is a cheap tactic, used to corrupt the jury pool. If I am ever charged with a crime, and find out before hand, then I'll call a tv station, have a camera crew follow me to the Precinct, and ask that they film me before going in. No bruises, cuts or scrapes before turning myself in, hopefully, means I'll leave in the same condition. I'll give a great speech on Police Brutality, and perhaps piss off a few booking pigs so they strike me. When I exit, with a shiner, bloddy nose or such, then I am sure the tv cameras will give my case a full and fair report. Get Real.
