Where I live in Lubbock Texas the police took part in the Falcon II project to capture violent offenders, child preditors, and drug dealers.
Our police saw this as an opportunity to make many arrests, and raided peoples homes, arrested them, then took them to jail, all throughout the night.
They raided 80 homes that night, and they were proud of it too.
However, there was a problem, only three people arrested were violent offenders, child preditors, or drug dealers.
The other 77 homes were raided for civil violations, like unpaid parking tickets, city ordinance violations where the fines had not been paid, and such.
I am accustomed to seeing the gang style tactics used by my local police to carry out the tasks of raiding people's homes.
Where I used to live a raid took place across from my home, and the police did not care about the civilians all around, myself, and grandson encluded..
I am afraid to make this posting, but I really want to know if it is happening anywhere els
