“Police in Ankeny, Iowa deployed a 12-member SWAT team in full battle array to execute a warrant in an investigation of alleged credit card fraud. The invasion of Sally Prince’s home was captured on camera, despite efforts to destroy the home security cameras used to record their crime. The invaders did not find any of the items listed in the search warrant. Captain Makai Echer insisted that the military-style assault was necessary and justified because the department was aware that an occupant of the home had a firearms permit. Gun ownership is one of the key considerations in the standardized ‘Threat Matrix’ used in planning SWAT operations.”
