National Review. Regardless of how people feel about Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy’s standoff with the federal Bureau of Land Management over his cattle’s grazing rights, a lot of Americans were surprised to see TV images of an armed- to- the- teeth paramilitary wing of the BLM deployed around Bundy’s ranch. They shouldn’t have been. Dozens of federal agencies now have Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) teams to further an expanding definition of their missions.
It’s not controversial that the Secret Service and the Bureau of Prisons have them. But what about the Department of Agriculture, the Railroad Retirement Board, the Tennessee Valley Authority, the Office of Personnel Management, the Consumer Product Safety Commission, and the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service?

All of these have their own SWAT units and are part of a worrying trend towards the militarization of federal agencies — not to mention local police forces.“Law- enforcement agencies across the U. S., at every level of government, have been blurring the line between police officer and soldier,” journalist Radley Balko writes in his 2. Rise of the Warrior Cop. The war on drugs and, more recently, post- 9/1. U. S. scene: the warrior cop — armed to the teeth, ready to deal harshly with targeted wrongdoers, and a growing threat to familiar American liberties.”The proliferation of paramilitary federal SWAT teams inevitably brings abuses that have nothing to do with either drugs or terrorism. Many of the raids they conduct are against harmless, often innocent, Americans who typically are accused of non- violent civil or administrative violations. Take the case of Kenneth Wright of Stockton, Calif., who was “visited” by a SWAT team from the U.
S. Department of Education in June 2. Agents battered down the door of his home at 6 a. The raid was allegedly intended to uncover information on Wright’s estranged wife, Michelle, who hadn’t been living with him and was suspected of college financial- aid fraud. The year before the raid on Wright, a SWAT team from the Food and Drug Administration raided the farm of Dan Allgyer of Lancaster, Pa. His crime was shipping unpasteurized milk across state lines to a cooperative of young women with children in Washington, D. C., called Grass Fed on the Hill.
Raw milk can be sold in Pennsylvania, but it is illegal to transport it across state lines. The raid forced Allgyer to close down his business. Brian Walsh, a senior legal analyst with the Heritage Foundation, says it is inexplicable why so many federal agencies need to be battle- ready: “If these agencies occasionally have a legitimate need for force to execute a warrant, they should be required to call a real law- enforcement agency, one that has a better sense of perspective.
The FBI, for example, can draw upon its vast experience to determine whether there is an actual need for a dozen SWAT agents.”Since 9/1. SWAT units. By 2. SWAT team. The number of raids conducted by local police SWAT teams has gone from 3,0. Once SWAT teams are created, they will be used. Nationwide, they are used for standoffs, often serious ones, with bad guys. But at other times they’ve been used for crimes that hardly warrant military- style raids. Examples include angry dogs, domestic disputes, and misdemeanor marijuana possession.
In 2. 01. 0, a Phoenix, Ariz., sheriff’s SWAT team that included a tank and several armored vehicles raided the home of Jesus Llovera. The tank, driven by the newly deputized action- film star Steven Seagal, plowed right into Llovera’s house. The incident was filmed and, together with footage of Seagal- accompanied immigration raids, was later used for Seagal’s A& E TV law- enforcement reality show. The crime committed by Jesus Llovera was staging cockfights. During the sheriff’s raid, his dog was killed, and later all of his chickens were put to sleep. Many veteran law- enforcement figures have severe qualms about the turn police work is taking.
One retired veteran of a large metropolitan police force told me: “I was recently down at police headquarters for a meeting. Coincidently, there was a promotion ceremony going on and the SWAT guys looked just like members of the Army, except for the police shoulder patches. Not an image I would cultivate.
It leads to a bad mindset.”Indeed, the U. S. Constitution’s Third Amendment, against the quartering of troops in private homes, was part of an overall reaction against the excesses of Britain’s colonial law enforcement. It wasn’t the stationing of British troops in the colonies that irked patriots in Boston and Virginia,” Balko writes. It was England’s decision to use the troops for everyday law enforcement.”There are things that can be done to curb the abuses without taking on the politically impossible job of disbanding SWAT units. The feds should stop shipping military vehicles to local police forces. Federal SWAT teams shouldn’t be used to enforce regulations, but should focus instead on potentially violent criminals. Cameras mounted on the dashboards of police cars have both brought police abuses to light and exonerated officers who were falsely accused of abuse.
SWAT- team members could be similarly equipped with helmet cameras. After all, if taxpayers are being asked to foot the bill and cede ground on their Fourth Amendment rights, they have the right to a transparent, accountable record of just what is being done in their name.– John Fund is national- affairs columnist at National Review Online.
