I like helping people fight LE, so by sharing this information, I do 9999x more damage to them than just keeping it to myself. I've seen lots of posts by noobs asking about raids, warrants, what the LE do and what they search, so I'll help you guys out here. This is a general short guide for this, but I might add more or if anyone has information, I'll probably add that to it. This is mostly based on western raids. But you'd think that most LE everywhere use most of these tactics. I've already shared all of this info many times before. But now I'm just going to post it here so I don't have to repeat myself and to help noobies.
LE are not entirely stupid. When they have the warrant for the raid, they have everything prepared and know what to look for. They've obtained a floor plan for your building already, had detective(s) watch you or the building over time, and they have good reason to believe there is some bad activity in there. They will have researched all escape routes you could possibly take and will have them blocked off as they move towards your building, so you can't run away. They will search your walls, floor, vents, roof, and food packages. Before, during, or after they may ask your neighbors things about you and phish for any information they can get. They most likely won't dig around your yard, unless it looks like you've dug up somewhere there before. They may or may not use dogs. Usually, they'd had to have found at least 1 illegal thing such as drugs or bombs before they'd do that. If they do, then there is nowhere that you can hide those items anywhere on the property without the dogs finding it or people.
If they find even one thing illegal there/suspicious, they will do the whole 9 yards in the search procedure. Your car is covered in the search warrant as well. Doesn't matter if they destroy shit. If you don't have anything bad, they will cover it, but it will take a longgggggg time to get refunded for what THEY say the item is worth. If you did have something bad, lol then they will see it as the raid was justified and they don't have to pay for shit because fuck you. They will not fix things before they leave. They will leave your windows broken and your door bashed off the hinges, wide open and you will be sitting there at 5am angry that you were too lazy and high to secure your OPS. The scope of the warrant lets them re-raid you over and over at any point after they've raided you too and it even extends to the future residents of that building. You should move if that happens. You basically have aids.
Another trick they do is they tell you that you have to look down at the ground at all times as far as your eyes will go down, like at your own body (yes, for the entire time they are there [hours and hours]). If you fail to do this, they say that you were disobeying officers and then they'll have an excuse to arrest (process) you. Once you are processed, it's over. They have your fingerprints in the database and you would have to be pretty retarded to go back to this line of work.
Being processed even once = 10000x easier to catch you in the future for anything.
A lot of people see it as they would kill themselves in this event if they possibly can before they reach them. And for those people, I'll tell you one thing you could do that they won't be prepared for. You could set up traps just in case this kind of thing happens. Because LE are NOT prepared for that kind of thing. That's rare and you'd kill a bunch of them if you had traps at the exits and all around. At least you could kill some before you killed yourself to evade capture.
So you have to think about these things when you are preparing your OPsec and counter them. This is how you never get caught and be a pro 360 no scoper cool
And a protip: keep a small block of c4 taped to the back of the door armed with a trip wire just incase. And if they ever got past that, get a bunch of those bear claw traps surrounding the door on the inside.
