[Pollux]

I'd like to ask Pollux, if the police had been given a search warrant before they began the raid as you said above, why did they feel the need to boost over the wall? I appreciate you've said they're allowed to boost (which I wasn't aware of originally).

I don't know but I don't think that's relevant here either, I can see that they requested the warrant long before they cuffed you and that's really all that matters in relation to a potential rule breakage.

In addition I always believed that raiding based on people's jobs (such as one corleone or rebel committing a crime and the police using this as justification to raid any person with the same job) is metagaming and was discouraged if not against the rules entirely.

Some roles have distinct clothing which you can identify based on. For example let's say Corleones are banned from the city, if I see a corleone wearing the default outfit I'm able to arrest them for being a corleone in the city. If you were wearing any other clothing then it would be metagaming for them to claim you're a corleone from just looking at you.

I don't have any further proof to add to the post so I accept that this will be rejected. I would just like some clarification on whether it is acceptable to raid for tenuous reasons and then justify it with different reasons afterwards.

Proper roleplay usually defines the lines between something being allowed and something being against the rules. If after the riots the cops went through the effort of identifying potential suspects and raided you based on that then I don't see any issue with it. I'm going to have to assume this was properly roleplayed as there's no evidence showing that it wasn't.

I would also like confirmation on whether the manner in which the raid was executed was acceptable roleplay (I appreciate the president was a dictator and this gives the police leave to act more aggressively), specifically the way the police made no attempt to investigate the reason they claimed the raid was for.

The conduct of the police during the raid was IC. If there was an issue with how the police raided your property (in terms of their aggressive behaviour) then it should be taken up with the president and such, it's not an OOC matter unless it broke another rule.

As there's no further evidence, I'm going to decline this PR.
