It’s a poster on a wall that says-
WHEN THE POLICE ARE AT YOUR DOOR
Keep this poster mounted on the wall somewhere out of sight from the front door.
• If an agent knocks, DO NOT OPEN THE DOOR. If possible, speak through the door. If you must go outside to speak, close the door behind you.
• Police can claim you are avoiding arrest if they see you in the house and you do not answer the door. If you can, install a door chain and a peephole.
IF THEY ARE HERE TO ARREST SOMEONE

IF THEY ARE HERE TO SEARCH YOUR HOUSE
* Ask if they have a search warrant. Without a warrant agents cannot enter your home.

* If they have a warrant ask them to slide it under the door or mail slot.
* The warrant must state the place to be searched and the items to be seized. It must be signed and dated by a judge. Warrants older than ten days are considered invalid.
* Any object left "in plain sight" may be seized if it is contraband or evidence of a crime.
* If possible before agents enter, shut down electronic devices, remove Items from plain sight, and close doors.
IF THEY WANT TO TALK
* Say: "I will not answer any questions without the advice of a lawyer."
* Ask for their business card.
* Do not sign anything that you're given.
* Call the Portland NLG Chapter at 1-833-680-1312
AFTER THE INCIDENT
Write down every detail you can remember and provide that information to your lawyer.
Helpful information includes date, time, location, all people present, any names or questions mentioned by the agents, the reason they gave for the visit, and a full inventory of items seized as evidence.
IF THEY HAVE A SUBPEONA
* Police at your home with a subpoena are not legally entitled to enter, unless you give them permission.
* They cannot come inside to search for anyone or anything named in the subpoena without a warrant.
* The best way to assret they do not have permission is to say "I do not consent to searches."

Unknown parent • • •How did it turn out? Way different than you might expect. So they fucked up the warrant, it exonerated both me and another guy. One day I got called into the office of the head JAG prosecutor. He was pissed he couldn't nail me but there was nothing they could do. Except for this, some of the worst duty in the service, deck scraper on the USS Duluth.
So I was in a transient unit waiting to be ordered to the Duluth when some civilian who worked at the unit sidled up to me and said, "there's a way out of this." Of course they hadn't told me I could request an administrative discharge. Neither honorable nor dishonorable. Like a sideways discharge. Which would allow me to get all the VA benefits, including full secondary education, housing loans, etc.
You could say I built a whole ass career from keeping my mouth shut for a night.
