I'm far less certain of that. There's something not right here. Some of the things River said don't make any sense whatsoever. However the OP has been editing and it's harder to see that now. Also, another poster pointed out that the OP used to have negative karma, and then suddenly it became +5, which is extraordinary given he has 10 posts.Thank you pine sol. Repped.Well, I'm not sure you should be thanking me, since I'm not particularly sure about you either!Consider that using uppercase capitalization for entire paragraphs makes you sound unhinged. Also; you could just as easily be LE as River. For all we know, you work for customs and that is why you keep demanding to know the host country. Maybe DrAmsterdam has been uncovered and has defected to LE, thus explaining his 'holiday time'. Maybe you're right about River and Novacaine also works for LE, which explains peculiar elements of River's posts and profile. Maybe toysolider1, River, DrAmsterdam and pine are all the same person. My point is that while you should be skeptical, there are severe limits on what you can take from a public forum as truth, it's very hard to confirm anything, so you should take everything you hear, from anybody, with a grain of salt.One other thing:QuoteWhat needs to be determined here is how easily the police can or cannot obtain a warrant to raid your home. In the US your home is like your castle, its yours and no one else can enter it without your permission. This goes for anyone, including law enforcement. If LE raids your house they had better have some evidence to do so. This is not really true at all. As KMF repeatedly explains, the police play dirty on a regular basis. What really happens, is that a detective feels suspicious about your home e.g. he thinks you are growing weed or something. A heat-scan of your house, or a dog is walked past in order to substantiate this in the detective's mind. Then they can put you on observation until you fuck up. e.g. driving too fast, having a broken taillight (even broken by LE personal 'by accident'). And believe me, you will fuck up, or they will manufacture the circumstances in which you fuck up. Then they will derive grounds for suspicion and search your house.An even more common practice is to simply to place a 'anonymous' phonecall from a reliable (haha) 'informant'. It is of course, the detective leaving himself a voice message from a payphone or something similar. Again, reasonable grounds for suspicion have been cultivated. This is practically standard practice, since the origin of confidential informants and their information is usually protected by law and records are usually simply not kept even for real informants. Ever wonder how informants seem to be everywhere and account for the majority of leads? Now you know, the police work is done in reverse so it all makes sense to the court.
