Whatever happened to the old-fashioned “stake out” where the occupants are arrested after having left the residence?

I suppose the cops don’t have the time for that anymore.

They can’t be bothered - they will surveill and surveill but they won’t do anything but watch.

Then they have the goon squad come in, no-knock the place, shoot up the general area - only to find out they have the wrong house or shot the wrong person.

I’ve posted this story a few times before, but it bears repeating:

A friend of mine lived in an area of Los Angeles that was near a notoriously high-crime sector of that city. To that end, he had reinforced his house and the entries thereof, to the point that his front entry was an armored “airlock” style double door chamber, much like those at a jewelry store. Except his had a 90 degree turn and didn’t allow enough room to swing a ram to open the second door.

About a year after he’d completed his modifications, one of the houses down the block became a meth lab/crack house. All the neighbors complained to the police about it. Eventually the police got around to raiding the place... but guess whose house they came to? Yup, my friend’s, because they couldn’t be bothered to read the house numbers properly.

I’m told the look on the SWAT members’ faces was priceless when they tried to ram the front door down and failed. They also tried to lob teargas in and effect entry through the windows when that failed; it didn’t work well through the polycarbonate sheeting he had instead of glass. He had a camera and intercom system installed, which the police didn’t bother to use. After he finally stopped laughing at their attempts and before they brought up some real equipment, he used his intercom to ask the police what they thought they were doing. They then claimed they had a warrant for this address. “Really? Hold it up to the camera and I’ll let you in if it’s valid.... Um, you might want to check the address on that, and then look at the number on the mailbox and painted on the curb.”

He never let them in, LAPD milled around for a while and then left.

David Koresh was often seen going into town and back to his ranch but they waited until he was home because Clinton and Janet Reno were blood thirsty.

Wanted to make sure Christinas got the message.

The burned the place down killing women and children and got away with it.

But they've got all these cool outfits and toys and wraparound sunglasses and stuff. How are they going to feel all badass if they're just sitting around waiting for a suspect to come outside?
