#1 Executive summary: Deflect them by asking "Do you have a warrant?" and "Am I being detained"

#2 That mindset seems to be common at all levels and functions of government. I recently received a postcard from the county assessor saying that wanted to come into my house and take pictures. And if I didn't agree they'd just make up their assessment.

#3 Or, just don't open the door and tell them to fuck off through an open window.

#4 I don't recommend saying much more than 'good morning' to these people without your legal counsel being present. Also recommend video taping the session.

#5 They rely on you being rattled by their rep. Go the Mike Ermentraut route: "Am I under arrest? If I'm not under arrest, I'm going to close the door now..."

#6 FYI: the Mises Caucus currently runs the Libertarian Party after a complete takeover from the Gary Johnson faction at the 2022 convention.

#7 A very good friend who liked to do chemical experiments in his house (he is a genious) bought a small glass chemical reactor on line. A few days later 2 FBI agents showed up and demanded he let them in to search. He asked for a warrant and was told they could go get a warrant but if they did some things might get broken during their search. Police state tactics. Constitution? They don't need no constitution.

#8 ^ So, you cooperate, and they break things anyway. Who do you complain to?

#9 Also recommend video taping the session.

Imagine if General Flynn had done that...or Martha Stewart.
