Honest question: What does it mean to "raid" the offices of a tech company? It's not like they have file cabinets with paper records. Are they just seizing employee workstations?

Seems like you'd want to subpoena source code or gmail history or something like that. Not much interesting in an office these days.

>>stickf+gv1
Gather evidence.

I assume that they have opened a formal investigation and are now going to the office to collect/perloin evidence before it's destroyed.

Most FAANG companies have training specifically for this. I assume X doesn't anymore, because they are cool and edgy, and staff training is for the woke.

>>Kaiser+q02
If that training involves destroying evidence or withholding evidence from the prosecution, you are going to jail if you follow it.

>>nieman+042
What a strange assumption. The training is "summon the lawyers immediately", "ensure they're accompanied at all times while on company premises", etc.

>>hn_go_+J42
A raid with a warrant skips all that.

>>direwo+u14
Not really? If the people want to get through the locked doors throughout the office, they'll need someone to let them through the doors. At least where I work, the receptionists don't have that access. They need to call people who do have universal door access to let them in. Unless the cops just want to battering-ram their way through all the doors for the fun of it...

Also, a raid without a warrant is not a raid. It's a friendly visit to someone's office.

>>hn_go_+IT6
Nope. With a warrant you break down the door if they don't cooperate. They do find it fun. They won't accept your stalling tactics.

>>direwo+ty7
"don't cooperate"? "Yes sir, let me call the people downstairs who can help you." is not stalling.

If they're so impatient, are they going to somehow hack the badge-controlled elevators to make them go where they want?
