To be fair, in the last 4 years especially, the US has set its own precedent of raiding the homes of political opponents, supporters and even lawyers.

In one case last year, a person was even visited by officers for simply saying a politician’s rhetoric was “underwhelming”.

To say nothing of the peaceful protestors who have been detained, in some cases without charges or even access to lawyers.

We may like to think we’re still the bastion of freedom we want to see, but the trend certainly doesn’t point that way.
