It's bullshit, fascist nonsense that needs to stop. I know you're being flippant but look at the circumstances. It's not like this was some known gang of criminals running a meth lab or something. Some random person on a random network makes a bullshit threat and the fucking SWAT team shows up? That, my friend, is called a police state. You won't find me disagreeing with you on this. I was being flippant, but serious at the same time. All these type of raids do is get people injured or killed for no good reason.
We are a police state. Look at how the police treat people. And you are expected to take your beating and then - if you live - take it up in court. Yes, sir. No, sir. Keep my hands on the wheel like a good boy. No massa, I don't want no beating. Please, sir.
Fuck that. |

| They didn't raid the wrong home due to an open Wi-Fi network. They raided the wrong home because they are dumb and careless and because a judge gave them a search warrant based solely on an IP address. |

Do you not know the saying, If you got a hammer, everything looks like nails?
This is the same situation. Militarized police force that has no reason to exist, has to invent a reason to exist and use said military equipment in order to show why they need to remain militarized. This is the standard government institution bullshit everywhere you go. These Institutions exist solely for their own continued existence. If they didn't bum rush with SWAT and flashbangs and shit, maybe people would ask what reason a SWAT has to run around in a non-violent crime situation.
And this problem is not exclusive to the US |

So it's OK if you do police state like activities, but have not done a few of the more police statish things...at least one unchecked check on that list.
As long as the home owners can get enough money to discourage them from doing this shit in the future, like 5 million or more. No problem. If they are getting much less than that or somehow the actions are "immune from prosecution due to......" then I'd say the counter to police power has been nullified and you are stepping firmly over the line.
Although I think we're more a blend of police state/corporate state anymore. It's evident by how much money is being spent and how votes are being cast in favor of those kinds of things. |

What Egypt is now, being presided over by the Muslim Brotherhood will be a police state.
Sure that particular police department did over react a bit, no doubt about it. But if that's what you consider a "police state" you're pretty naive. Point of view. It's also not like there is an exact checklist to qualify, either. |

Even more ridiculous was swat's reply, after the fact. "It's somewhere in the neighborhood, so we are watching carefully.".
So either the media is too dumb to know that's bullshit or they are letting swat lie. It could have been a FREAKING car driving by tapping open wifi, not to mention most people don't know how to set up a hub or router much less anything about computers. We're just geeks.
