You see these shows, there's always action.

I always say if there is any action, the enforcement team probably didn't do their job right.

There shouldn't be any.

So what would happen in a typical raid is that we plan properly.

We know when the guy's going to be there.

We know when he's going to be off guard.

We probably have an undercover UC setting up a buy or setting up some sort of a wholesale buy.

So we know there's going to be some quantity there in case the warehouse is depleted.

And then we would stage at, say, like a Burger King parking lot or a hotel parking lot.

And we would stage there with the U-Hauls that we probably would rent

depending on how much we expect to get with the law enforcement, the marshals or the sheriffs.

And we would give them all instructions on who the subject is.

And we would plan all this.

Then we would wait at the parking lot until the marshals have secured the location.

So usually as an investigator, I never see the action.

We go in after it's secured, after they make sure there's no guns and all that other kind of stuff.

And the subjects are all in one

particular corner of the location.

If it's a house, probably the living room.

If it's a business location, it'll probably be either in the office or out where the customers are.
