Released footage of the police raid on the Kim Dotcom mansion
So, there's an overblown police operation, using two helicopters, 5 paddy wagons, AR-15s, dogs, and a forceable takedown of a suspect deemed to be "low-risk", to serve an illegal warrant by a unit that NZ Police themselves describe [1] as "[providing] Police with the means of effectively and more safely responding to and resolving situations in which there is an actual or threatened use of firearms or other weapons against members of the public or Police."  All of this was done so that K.C "couldn't destroy evidence" that he didn't have access to, in the first place.Forgive me, but who the hell planned this?  It sounds so incredibly American, but I don't see why the NZPD would allow the FBI to dictate tactics like that.[1] http://www.police.govt.nz/service/aos/
