entering a home, courts do not look at specific time periods but whether the amount of time was reasonable under the circumstances. See Sargent, 150 F.Supp.2d at 160. Whether the amount of time was reasonable should be evaluated, not in relation to how long it takes to open the door, but in relation to how long it could take to destroy the evidence or evade capture. See United States v. One Parcel of Real Property, 873 F.2d 7, 9 (1st Cir.1989). [¶ 19] A review of case law in the First Circuit supports the conclusion that two to five seconds may not be a reasonable amount of time to wait before entering a residence using “knock and announce” principles; however, ten seconds is not necessarily an unreasonable wait. See, e.g., United States v. Garcia, 983 F.2d 1160, 1168 (1st Cir.1993) (<HOLDING>); One Parcel of Real Property, 873 F.2d at 9
