Examples? (Bonus if you state examples with delayed compliance and possible presence of weapons)

Her whole family had headphones in? She had headphones in even while talking to and hanging up on the police? Seems unbelievable in case.

Police in the UK are routinely without firearms, so I think in this case the burden of proof would be on you to show they’re regularly entering houses of people suspected of computer crimes with weapons drawn.

Citizens also don't routinely own firearms in the UK, so the two are related.

I wasn't the one making a claim about what happens in other countries, so I don't need to provide evidence of their claim. My claim is that the actions in this specific situation showed no misconduct and was consistent with similar situations (non-compliance and building searches) in this country. You want evidence? Use a right to know request for the procedures from your local department. You can also read books like The Tacticle Edge to gain an understanding of what's actually going on.

Germany: for white-collar crime, they'd usually arrest you by sending y0u a letter asking you to please come in. Even if she were guilty, she wouldn't be looking at jail time where it makes any sense for a regular person with family to try running.

Soeaking of idiots ruining their life: Assange might be a good example that people know. He was allowed to surrender on his own/with his lawyers (first time around). Not sure about his latest arrest, but IIRC he was resisting and all they did was humiliate him by carrying him out like a petulant child.

Anything "hacking"/"unauthorized access", even if fairly trivial, will easily get your home raided and hardware confiscated in Germany too. They're unlikely to be waving guns around though.

Be harder to find counter examples. I can't think of many "western" nations where it's normal for the police to go in to a house for a non violent office with people with no history of violence with guns drawn.
