Would be happy with LE searching your home and seizing your hard drives if they said they are looking for extremists?

Depends how accurate the accusations are. I can criticise SWATting even when the target is my enemy.

#14Translation from deepl.com: House searches of net activists Chaos Computer Club criticizes police action Police have searched club rooms and homes of net activists. Those affected are only witnesses, but documents and technology have been confiscated. This raises questions of proportionality.

Wow, great translation! I could only find one meaning-distorting error: Translation: “This is obviously the only reason why the German investigators took such massive action against the association.” (which reads very nearly like an editorial stance, not like dry newsprint, which is much more the actual tone of the German article) The actual meaning is more along the lines of: “This seems to be the only reason why th…

They didn't. They searched witnesses. Or "witnesses" because they were forwarding donations to riseup. Mozilla is donating to riseup too btw. So this is about on par as searching and confiscating random stuff at Mozilla's offices.
Not personally a fan of riseup, but that's fucked up.

What extremism are you talking about?
I suppose he means things like G20 violence in Hamburg a year ago. That included e.g. trying to kill and harm police officers.
