Why should you be unblacklisted?:
I just wanted to restate my case in a clear manner. I understand blackdog contacted other staff, but he did so before getting certain necessary clarifications from me which I feel like make a difference in the case.
I also think another point of confusion might be that the staff BD contacted might not have known this was an actual clan, not just people listing themselves as FBI (which was going on earlier today), but that is just a conjecture.
These are the search warrant rules:
10.1 Do not randomly search a property; you must have probable cause. Some examples include:
10.1a Gunfire heard coming from within the property;
10.1b Criminal activity visible on the property;
10.1c A suspect on the property;
10.1d Contraband heard or visible on the property.
Going by that, in an RP sense that means those would be the judicial requirements for police to get a search warrant or something to that regard.
At the time of the police raid, open carry of weapons was legal.
Before the raid, there were a few presidents. There was one who allowed us to work and gave us passes, etc. Then there was one who wanted revoke our passes and possibly arrest us (he wanted to bring us all to one location). We decided to not meet with him but we also did not operate during that timeframe.
Then, another president came into power and we were going to meet with him. We set up a meeting, but he very quickly is replaced with another (the same who wanted to revoke our passes) president who seems to suspiciously want all of our men to meet with him. I met with him with just myself and somebody else. He said he wanted everybody, and I said that's not going to happen. He said if we didn't, he would revoke our passes. I said OK, that's fine, and RPed handing him my government documents and left (and he of course actually revoked the pass). I never said we were going to continue operating, and we just stayed in industrial basically doing nothing.
Sometime later, basically the entire police force except SWAT is outside. I got to the front with an AK74 on my back (open carry on private property was legal at the time). I ask why they are here and the sergeant at the time (I believe it was Sours) immediately jumps to the weapon on my back and my gas mask, both of which I mention are perfectly legal on private property. I again ask what they wanted and they refused to offer a reason but kept asking me to step outside. I knew that if I stepped outside they'd either separate me and arrest me illegally or use the fact that our gate opens/closes slowly against us and rush in, so I tell them to leave unless they have a reason, otherwise I would not open the gate.
At the time they did not have a warrant.
They did not ask to see inside or to be let inside.
I think maybe 5-10 minutes later (it seemed like a long time, they were standing outside the gate the whole time), they got a warrant and they broke open the front gate. I knew they had no legal ground to attack us or even investigate us (there was nothing to investigate), much less get a warrant.
The way I saw it at the time of attack (I realize others might not see this) was a political powerplay of the new administration to silence any enemies or people who might oppose him. There is no other reason for them to have attacked us - had they asked to see inside to maybe make sure we didn't have any prisoners or contraband or anything of that nature, I would have opened the gate.
Normally I wouldn't mention that because it sounds dumb, but when I asked BD what the warrant reason even was in the first place he said it was for "FBI raid" which means the president already knew about it and likely ordered it, probably for the reasons I mentioned above. To me, that makes it pretty clear that he wanted to attack us. It wasn't "FBI investigation" or "making sure the FBI is not operating", it was a raid. We responded just like any government going through a tense administration change would, which is to hold our ground and use weapons to defend ourselves.
The president at the time was not a dictator, but should he decide to be one (or enact harsher laws), he might have wanted to prevent something like what happened in Turkey:

Obviously, instead of the military we're a federal law enforcement agency/clan, but it's close enough for city RP as there is no military and sometimes citizens even overthrow the government because of how armed they are. (also, to be 100% clear, we had no plans to raid the president or attack the police)
ALSO:
(Correct me if I'm wrong)
When we got on today, there was another group of FBI people. That happens sometimes and we always let them RP in peace. They stopped for some reason, but I am 99% certain the president that ordered the raid was one of them. At the very least, I know for a fact one of those other FBI guys was working with the president.
He also consistently mentioned in broadcasts that we were the "fake FBI" which lines up with that.
Finally, this isn't the first time we've been raided by the police (however, it is the first time it was by a president who was not a dictator). For whatever reason, dictators of the past tended to ban us from the city and for whatever reason that leads to us being raided by the police in the MTL. Staff have seen those situations in the past and allowed us to defend ourselves with weapons.
