Summary
A Danish libertarian privacy activist and former police officer recounts being arrested by masked police who broke down his door without warning. He describes how police went directly for his circuit breaker panel to disable his ability to film the raid. The author reflects on his 15 years of activism and the circumstances leading to his arrest, which involved publishing what he humorously called "my two favorite numbers" (apparently referring to sensitive information).
