Danish privacy activist Lars Andersen raided by police
Points and comments are a snapshot, not live.
Danish privacy activist Lars Andersen was raided by police who cut power to his cameras.
Lars Andersen, a former Danish police officer and privacy activist, describes a raid by armed, masked police who broke down his door without warning. An officer immediately shut off power to his router, and they seized his Google Nest cameras with local storage to prevent filming. This followed his publication of Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen's social security and phone numbers and a screenshot of him messaging her about encryption bans and surveillance. Andersen claims police refused to tell him the charges, which he says is illegal. In Denmark, filming police is nominally legal.
What commenters are saying
The thread is split between critics and supporters. A top comment calls Andersen a corrupt former cop and drug dealer who stalked the PM's children, leading to her secret address. Others argue the raid’s tactics, cutting power to avoid being filmed, reveal police overreach and warrantless arrest procedures. Critics counter that his past conviction for drug dealing undermines his activist claims, while supporters frame his actions as principled civil disobedience against hypocrisy. Specific product advice includes using hidden trail cameras with cell backup and local SD storage.
