Re: Overwhelming force
I would like to see those studies. For those of us who are familiar with fire arms, I cannot imagine how being armed would be more stressful than less. Or how having buddies similarly armed beside me increases stress. If there is no one in charge, then that can be a problem. But on such a warrant/raid there is ALWAYS someone in charge. And a designated second, at least.
I certainly agree that going in with guns out to serve a search warrant for a computer sounds excessive. But that is NOT what happened, and it is NOT what I was talking about. I was attempting to address the other side of the issue regarding the use of excess force to serve a warrant generally.
