Seeing the recent increase in "arrests" spewing across this thread, I thought it would be a good idea for people to share their nightmare experiences or close calls with LE.
This could help people learn what mistakes even pros are making, as there is a solid chance that these close calls are less to do with OPSEC and more to do with other issues.
Last week I got a notice to pick up a package from the post office. My post office is directly across the street from the police station. When i pulled up a cop was sitting in his car around the corner just parked and watching. I chalked it up to coincidence and went in to pick it up. I handed my notice to the clerk and waited. He said it would be about 20 minutes before it would be available. 20 minutes later I signed for it and began to walk out and sirens start blaring. My heart stopped and i decided to just walk out and act cool. Turns out it was all just a huge coincidence but my butthole was puckered up to the point that you couldnt have driven a knitting needle in it with a sledge hammer.
