Once again, the Stasi can't be bothered to double-check an address before they raid an apartment looking for drugs. If there is anything more dangerous than incompetent government officials; it's incompetent government officials with guns and CHAINSAWS!

I’d be dead because I’d be shooting. A chainsaw!?

Okay, so how do you mitigate the risk of a “wrong address” no-knock?

Stating you would shoot through the door etc is not a best outcome solution; is your primary arm at hand, all the time? Buying some time, gaining some intell is the logical thing to do.

You insure your house, drive, front and rear doors are clearly marked with your full house/apartment number (let teh cops have every opportunity to see your house number, maybe one will actually be thinking rather than anticipating the drill).

You then install security doors and frames. You insure your home security system is fully operational (you do have one, right?) and it consists of PIRs (passive IR motion detectors), window/door sensors and breaking glass sensors. You insure you also have a FMV (full motion video) with audio and it satays on, preferably with local and remote recording (so the LEOs cannot claim it is unusable etc). Set your alrm to “instant once you are all accounted for for the night-that way, it calls the montoriing station regardless of who trips teh alrms. If a fire, etc, and you run out, it calls the station etc.

All this for about $50/month after installation. Door systems etc cost about $200-500 per, but most homes have three or less exterior doors, apatrments. maybe two, often only one.

If you are in fact the victim of wrongful assault, you must use your best judgment. I know what I will do, as a law-abiding person, however. I will assume the worst. Besides, after hours my hearing ais are removed and I can’t hear even a DrillSgt shouting “FBI/Police” etc...
