#2Reason I’m posting this is because the raid itself earlier got attention on HN in this thread:

Insert “we are not a police state”
Potential suggested discussion: what are best practices in law-enforcement-proofing (think local/state police, not feds) our home security recording setups? Somewhere towards the beginning of our video police can be seen physically covering an outside camera, & towards the end they’re seen physically disconnecting the entire setup (to the best of my knowledge)
So, at this point the best thing is cameras hiding in plain sight? Stealthily integrated into furniture? Idk.
p.s. - this happened extremely close to my childhood home & where I spent most of my life.

From this situation, I would conclude that you have nothing to hide unless you are guilty or a law enforcement officer, so I would suggest covering the property with camera's pointed at other cameras. Also, lots of dummy cameras, so that you forget which cameras are real and just go on about your non-private business (which is all of it).

#4So police make up “justification” for a warrant, the violent armed invasion of his home turns up nothing because they made it up the reason for the warrant.
Now they’re saying his making a video with their faces in it is making their jobs harder. Like dude you made your jobs harder when you commit perjury to get a warrant. You make your jobs harder when you smash down the victims door and swarm his home with guns.
If the cops didn’t want to be famous for violating other people’s rights maybe they should stop violating people’s rights?

#5I thought that HN discouraged hyperbolic/clickbaity/deceptive titles.
"Homeowner" is a celeb [Afroman] and the "CCTV footage" was published in social media and in music videos without their consent.

#7unfortunately the sequela here will probably cops wearing black face masks that cover their entire faces.
Sucks all around. And it’s entirely plausible most the cops were acting in good faith. They’ve got a hard job.

I'm curious to know why you believe these additional details make the headline deceptive or change the story in any way.
