Know your rights
First, keep this in mind: You have no obligation to cooperate with police.
This is not an anti-police attitude — it’s a pro-civil rights attitude. Private property in the U.S. is sacred. The whole reason for having a warrant (or what’s known as a Feeney warrant) is that police must have the authority to enter a home, in order to arrest someone.
/
You are under no obligation to surrender that privacy if a warrant isn’t presented.
You have no obligation to answer the door. As a Targeted Individual, don't answer the door unless you know the person, and you want to talk to them.
/
Targeted Individuals:
1) Don't answer the door unless you know who it is. If you don't know them, why are you opening the door?
2) Have a camera and cell phone ready and recording.
3) Leave your chain lock on the door.
4) Unless you hear the words, "We have a warrant." Don't open the door.

“Wellness Checks”
This is just an excuse to setup a Targeted Individual. Don’t fall for it - they are trying to take you to a psyche facility. Don’t answer the door.
/
If approached in a public area:
A) If you are arrested. Do not resist. Only state that you want an attorney. Don't say anything else. Keep your camera ready.
B) "I don't answer questions, please talk to my attorney." is always a perfect response. Never chit chat with police.
C) Do not explain anything about the targeting program. Save it for the Judge.

I had an imbecile cop do a "wellness check" back in Puerto Rico. I didn't know I was a "targeted individual". I cross-examined him to the point that he and the humongous partner woman cop he brought (to pat me and pin me down probably) retreated with their tail between their legs.
Although I now know what that was all about, the one thing that got them to retreat was when I told them: "You mean to tell me there is a criminal complaint against me and you haven't even read me my rights? You don't even want to tell me who is accusing me of what? Get out NOW!"
And they did.
Do not let them in to your property unless they have a warrant. Period.
When I first tried to get in, the gateway was blocked to me - error 504. I was like what did I do? I was so happy to get in later! Thank you for this advice. Every thing you say to us extremely important to the targeted community.
