There are hundreds of ways to go about this without falling into the simplistic traps you seem to fall into all the time playing these hypotheticals.
And some of the questions you're asking are not to be answered in media like this. Do you seriously not understand that?
Couple of things for you to ponder:
- What makes you think that action will always be reactive?
- Do you think people can't figure out where the enforcers live?
- Even better do you think people can't figure out where the authors and triers of such unconstitutional laws live?
- Do you think that the authors and triers of such laws will be immune from retribution?
The time to collect such intelligence is now.
This is going to make the Troubles in Northern Ireland look like a fucking lovefest.
This was part of what I was getting at as well but wanted to just stick to the direct question in regards to how you can get advanced knowledge of raids.
But as pirate said, there are many sides to this from not always being on the defense, to making the other side play by their own rules to their severe disadvantage to finding out how their legal requirements are met as far as raids (or whatever) and basically overloading/diluting that system and process to the point that its worthless.
Some food for thought:
- The Palestinians are masters of setting a bait/switch trap in regards to public opinion versus the Israelis. They used misinformation to say there was a sniper/gun man in a tower shooting at people only for the Israelis to then hit the tower with artillery. Guess who had prepared footage of that and the subsequent area around the tower that received fire on hand and in-front of everyone, showing all sorts of women/children/carnage that was just 'inflicted' on them. How many false no-knocks that end up with 4 kids and a 80 year old grandma with a weak heart will it take to put major red tape on things for your local/state police?
- The laws and guidelines that police have to follow make our shitty ROE in the middle east look like the wild west. Make it painful. Everyone sews over everything, all the time. Be outraged. All the time. About everything.
- Whatever legal means they use to stipulate things like raids; identify how they are justified in the eyes of the politician's laws. Are they using things like 'red flag laws' where basically any random person can call and say they know someone crazy with a gun? Are they taking calls from random snitches and allowing those to be gospel in the way of getting a warrant/legal go ahead? Once you identify the system in place, use it to your advantage. Send them to every cop's house. Send them to the mayor's mother in laws house. Send them to the walmart parking lot with a vague claim of some guy with a gun. Send them to all over the place to where they either have to make a determination that the guidelines have to be super strict, meaning the raids basically have such a high requirement for proof that they don't ever happen or the pool of force available to them is spread across thin which then provides opportunity as well as a mentally worn down opponent.
- Back to Napoleon and his art of war comment. Imagine, via the above, you send a force to some random place, or maybe a place that was arranged to have innocent people inside with nothing to hide, but helpful to your cause. The force sets up outside the same way it always does and always has. To them, they have set up a perimeter. To the opposing force that planned this; they all have their backs turned to you.
It's a battle of attrition and breaking the others' will to fight. If your thoughts on this involve fighting head on, your tactics suck.
Wanted to add - I'm not condoning any of this or telling you to go out and do this tomorrow or some shit. Instead, I just want people to think, and grasp how to look at things like this and the possibilities to counter them via figuring out how the enemy is isolated and pulled out of their element. That's all.
