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

That can start with self deleting messages if you are under court order, and has happens before:

“Google intended to subvert the discovery process, and that Chat evidence was ‘lost with the intent to prevent its use in litigation’ and ‘with the intent to deprive another party of the information’s use in the litigation.’”

VW is another case where similar things happens:

The thing is: Companies don’t got to jail, employees do.

Right, but you are confusing a _conspiracy_ with staff training.

I didn't work anywhere near the level, or anything thats dicey where I needed to have a "oh shit delete everything the Feds are here" plan. Which is a conspiracy to pervert the course of justice (I'm not sure what the common law/legal code name for that is)

The stuff I worked on was legal and in the spirit of the law, along with a paper trail (that I also still have) proving that.

A raid with a warrant skips all that.

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.

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.

"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?
