I remember one time I got spooked that I was about to be raided and took all my backups (on DVDs) to a friends house after a loooong and winding path to their house to ensure I wasn’t followed.
when I dropped it off all he asked was, “can I copy what you have?”
told him he could copy whatever he wanted if he had the drive space. it was a full binder of 100 data DVDs.
was never raided but I was looking over my shoulder for weeks after that.
I worked at an electronics store at the time and a cop came in asking me some very specific questions about pirating. like a dumbass, I shared my knowledge. Though at the time I didn’t know he was LE.
one of my coworkers called me and told me a cop was around asking for me at work on my day off. soon after that my internet connection died.
I got spooked and dbanned my drives while I took my backups to another friends house.
the guy was probably just trying to learn about piracy tbh. never saw him again after that.
it really was like that.

What gave you the feeling you were about to be raided? Did you receive threats? Was law enforcement stalking you?
