unstable matter

This thread is a compilation of hypothetical information for law enforcement to use when they do "raids" on suspected drug dealers. Now that we've got that out of the way...

1. PPPPU: Proper preparation prevents phuck ups

First things you need are at least 1-2 other people and a car. Dogs can track scents but are lost when you get into a vehicle. It's MUCH better to have at least 2 people but you can make do with 1 if you're prepared to get to the car quickly. Leave the car unlocked and maybe even the keys in it if this is the case. Everyone who does this with you or knows what you are about to do you MUST TRUST COMPLETELY. I wouldn't even let your girlfriend know unless it's necessary, even if she's driving you it's not necessary.

You need weapons and things to cover your face and any identifying features. Gloves are also very important. This can mean tattoos and SHOES ESPECIALLY. People forget to change their shoes all the time or use a different pair if it's a target you know. Wear different clothes than you normally wear.

Also, weapons. Guns are optimal but different circumstances call for different varieties. Just know you can't go with too small but you can go with too big i.e. a large rifle attracts attention coming through the halls of a building and is clunky when inside. Know that although baseball bats are a good secondary weapons if you falter for a second and they fall into the wrong hands you've got a SNAFU. Long machete's and katana style swords are surprisingly not that bad. They can be concealed down a pant leg and their double edge makes them hard to grab. However they've got to be wielded with two hands sometimes.

Basically, guns are the best but whatever you choose make sure it's something that you can maintain control of all the time. Control is fundamental while doing this kind of thing. Handcuffs and shit like that are alright but don't rely on them for tying up people. Clothes usually work well and you can leave them like that and they can get out easily and you won't have a murder charge on your hands because they couldn't get free.

2. Know your target

Knowing your target can mean many things. Most importantly make sure what you're after is worth the risk. This is a relative thing but I think it's dumb to do one with less than $10k as a target. Know the source of the information as well. Girls are notoriously bad for information, they will say a guy has multiple keys kilos just because she sucked their dick and they never called her again. However, girls can be very good at stuff like this too. You've got to know whether they're coming from a financial or emotional place. If you've got a girl who you fuck sometimes or you've known for a while and she says she met this guy who's got all this shit, that's a good source in my book. People who are drunk are the worst and tend to try to be a hero more than if people are coked up or smoking crack, so watch for that.

If it's just someone you don't like, whose place you've been to, make sure it wasn't too recently but you know someone who has been there recently, preferably the same night. Know the layout of the place, how many people are likely to be there, the demeanor of the target whose objects are in question. Any weapons that might be there, where the target usually is, whether or not they're likely to call the cops afterwords (you'd be surprised how many drug dealers call the cops). Pitbulls and other dogs are good to take note of too. Knowing where the sought after items are kept is also very important and can save a lot of time. Know whether or not there may be children in the house and if there are DON'T DO IT for a billion reasons other than moral ones. Know the neighbors surrounding the house or whether or not the building is likely to have people call the super if they hear a lot of noise. Basically just try to know EVERYTHING there is to know about the target. Having someone at the place earlier in the day or watching it for a while can prevent a lot of fucking up. If it's a building, they can keep the door open for you too.

3. The door

By "the door" I'm talking about everything leading up to entry of the dwelling. If all the intelligence and circumstances line up and you are ready to go, you've got to be ready to be strong and calm. Chances are you will need to shit. This is normal. Dead sobriety is best, marijuana can impair your reaction time and cocaine can make you too jumpy and things can go wrong. If you're pulling up to a building, make sure you know if there are outside cameras or not. If there are, park in the next building over or off the property. Have a cell phone you can txt your drive with to let them know to swing around and pick you up when it's over. If it's a house, park down the street or a street over, or get dropped off and make sure it is night. Buildings can be done in daylight but houses are sketchy unless you know all the neighbors are at work (which you never really can know). If you park in the parking lot of a building make sure the plate is in a position where it can't be seen.

Bottom floor apartments are the best. Entrances can be breached from the back door, balcony or window. You want your masks to cover everything but not be restrictive. Those niggerish do rags are alright but sometimes you want one to cover your hair. Really, ski masks are ideal. Depending on the entry you plan to make to the apartment, it may not be necessary to mask up right away. If the building has a security door, you may need someone to open it for you and a citizen may need to do that. However, when you get up to the door, you're gonna wanna be masked up. Any citizen sees some people coming down the hall masked up they know something is up. Also, if you see anyone leaving the target place, put a weapon to them and make them go back to the door and get the target to open it for them, under the guise that it's just them. You also, don't want them running to the cops or anything.

So, if you're going to a house, know all the entrances but basically, just going to the door and pulling the weapon out as soon as the door opens is pretty simple but you want to immediately move into the apartment, have the other 1 or 2 people pushing through and shutting the door IMMEDIATELY. Also, do not touch the door with your bare hand. In apartment buildings, most people check their peepholes but it's usually not necessary to be in front of the door, so knock, then duck off to the side and as soon as you hear it unlock see the door start to open kick it with all your might and run the fuck in. If they don't open the door because they don't see anyone in the peephole, get in front of it with your head down or back turned or something and knock again, just don't specifically show your face. If they ask who it is say fucking "shawn from down the hall" or something, you'll figure it out but as soon as that door slips open fucking move in

4. Control and Confinement.

This is the most important and has resulted in many poor impulsive decisions over the years part but if you took heed of the previous 3 steps and maintain a cool head while doing what you have to do you're fucking gravy. Seriously, you've gonna be antsy, hyped (make sure you are hyped but still have an inner calm if you know what I mean) and need to shit but you've got to MAINTAIN FOCUS.

When you make initial entry, you want to have the gun right up to the guys face, knife to throat, punch him in the face but try not to make so much noise when the door is open. Shut the door and if he tries to fight back, try to throw him off balance or get his back to you and get one of the guys that are with you to grab him, take him to the floor, put the gun to his face and he'll know he's beat. But barring that, you don't want to make much noise if there are other people there they will have a chance to grab something, hide something, call the cops or do any number of things you don't want them to do. Luckily the layout of most houses has the living room (where the people will most likely be) close to the door so the time from dwelling entry to entry of the living room should be very short.

Depending on the nature of the targets you have, they may freeze at the sight of the weapons alone and you can talk calmly, however some people who think they're little G's you've got to move quick and yell at them to get the fuck down. Surprisingly girls do not put up much of a fuss as irrational as they are, they might say something stupid but that's it. Make sure there are no sudden movements and make everyone lay the fuck down. If someone gets up and tries something, feel free to completely incapacitate them without firing a shot (many people do home invasions with unloaded guns, just make sure it isn't a revolver, if you only have a revolver and want to have it unloaded, you can put BB's in it with double sided tape). This doesn't happen very often though but when it does it can be catastrophic. Moving quickly and making sure people are still sitting down when you move in and put the weapons to people, look around relentlessly for any objects they could use to fuck up your shit. When you rob a crack house or something similar, the guy who works there isn't the one you've got to worry about, it's the smoker who wants to impress buddy. Traps getting robbed is part of the territory as everyone knows but the smoker will think he's entitled to a big ol rock if he foils a robbery. Treat the smokers like they treat themselves, nuff said.

So, now we're in the living room. Lets say there were 2 people on the couch, a guy and a girl as well as the owner of the house who answered the door. Get everyone on one side of the room and make sure you can see their hands. While someone has the piece/sword/whatever to them get one of your partners to go through their pockets and take everything out, ESPECIALLY cell phones. Feel free to take jewelry too. Now get the owner of the house to get under the coffee table. Yes, under the coffee table, this prevents sudden movements. You don't want people sitting on couches or within arms reach of the bottom of the couch as people put guns there sometimes. Make sure the blinds are closed too. Make him give you his shirt and either put it over his face or tie his arms around his back. Make him tell you where the stuff that you want is. Stomping someone under a coffee table while tied up makes them feel very helpless and he will probably give up where it is fairly quickly. Always have at least one person watching everyone while another goes through the house and gets everything. People usually do not tell you where everything is so be prepared to look. Everyone should be on the floor with their heads down and hands behind their backs. Clothes over their heads and used to bind them are very useful. Feel free to change your voice.

Cupboards, freezers, closets, pillowcases, drawers, crawlspaces, in underwear and bras, dressers, under the bed check fucking everywhere for shit and throw it with no heed, search with just the goal in your mind. While the people are lying down, ask them questions to gauge their emotional state and figure what else you can get. If you don't get what you're looking for take fucking everything you can handle. A weird kind of thing happens during some of these things when everything goes right, you get a sort of sense of calm and you're just chilling in there like you're hanging out in your house. It seems that way because you've established complete control. Don't let this fool you into letting your guard down, maintain perfect awareness of everything around you at all times. If buddy is extremely persistent and claims he doesn't have what you know is there (usually people will tell you where something is but omit something else) beat on him, put the fear of god in him and take everything that you can. If you think they're gonna rat, cut the phone line (although that is a charge in itself). Be careful that you don't touch anything without gloves. Make sure nobody sees your face and if they do, hit them in the head immediately afterwords to shake their vision and memory up (this actually works). If a girl sees you I wouldn't consider it as important, you'd be surprised how solid some girls who hang out with drug dealers and stuff are and they don't want to ruin their reputation and have to make new friends and fuck different guys.

I'm kind of trailing off here but once control has been established, all there is to do is get what you came for, enjoy yourself and prepare for the aftermath.

5. The aftermath

Well, when you're about to leave, make sure nobody's mouth is covered. If everybody is tied up, untie one person. You can take their phones if you want but be ready to smash them because they can be tracked. Text your driver and make sure he meets you in a place where you've got the least exposure or walk calmly to the car. Peel the fuck out and head to somewhere that has no trace to any of you. Some girls place can be alright, especially if she has a kid that's asleep, she'll be glad to have a break from her new mother shit, she won't ask questions and she'll know that her kid's sleeping. A bad mother is what I'm trying to say I guess. Make sure the car is hidden, change clothes, smoke a joint and divide up the stuff.

How it's divided up is up to you but around here it's equal between participants with the driver getting a third of a cut based on their involvement. Get rid of everything you got quickly. Get new shoes, and get rid of your clothes and say nothing. If something goes wrong DELETE FUCKING EVERYTHING. If you're ever questioned, lawyer the fuck up.

If for whatever reason it comes back on you and you're lured into a situation by people you may or may not have robbed who are beating you and want to know who was with you, they usually do not actually care, they just feel like they should know, make up some names, take your heat and try to get out of it no matter what.



Well, there you go, I typed this whole thing and haven't proofread it yet or checked it over. I encourage anyone who wants to add something to this to feel free to suggest something or point out any errors I may have made. I might add a chapter later or what to do if something goes wrong or just re-read and touch it up.

Anyone who wants to add something to this to aid my local law enforcement is doing the world a great favor. Or maybe I'll put it in my book, working title "home invasion for dummies."

Enjoy!
