Here is a freaky story from Dodgeland:
Members of a drug task force burst into a Dodgeville apartment Monday night and arrested two people before officers realized that they were in the wrong apartment. Richland-Iowa-Grant Drug Task Force members entered the apartment about 10:15 p.m. and arrested its two occupants in what police considered a "high-risk" drug bust, according to the Dodgeville Police Department. Minutes later, they realized that they were in the wrong place and released the occupants. The officers then headed to the right apartment, where they arrested four people after discovering marijuana and drug paraphernalia, police said.

First of all, how high risk could it have been that you only found a little pot and some "paraphernalia". And secondly, it if it was so high risk, why didn't you double check where you were going? I'd think that executing a "high risk" warrant would entail all sorts of extra checking and researching to make sure that you do it as safely for everyone involved as possible. But hey, that's just me. Of course the story declines to mention whether this was a full on paramilitary style raid. But seeing as how that's the favorite technique of these types of task forces, it's a pretty good bet that these innocent people had their doors smashed down, were held at gun point by guys in ski masks, and had their necks stood on while they checked their identification.
