I was once at a house party where the local PD showed up. The host asked if they jad a warrant, then immediately slammed the door in their face. They kicked down the door and he ran out the back.
Within 10 mins, there were about 20 state troopers, with ARs aimed at the 6 local PD officers, forcing them to strip down out of their underwear (to prevent them from hiding any 'illegal objects lockpicka or weapons) and hauling them off in SUVs, while all of us in our late teens watched.
Turns out the host was the nephew of Lt. Colonel of the entire state's state police forces. So when he called in that armed assailants who must be pretending to be local Leo's, since no officer would ever break down a door without a warrant, they were only too happy to respond with full force.

Ummm. Good luck with that!
Sorry ma'am we have a warrant to suck your blood.

Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.
