What to do if FBI knock on your door ?

Step outside of your door. Be polite. Shake their hands and ask for their business card. Tell them you will have your lawyer contact them.

DO NOT INVITE THEM INTO YOUR HOUSE NO MATTER HOW FRIENDLY THEY APPEAR TO BE. DO NOT ANSWER ANY QUESTION UNLESS YOU HAVE A LAWYER WITH YOU.

Following is additional advice extracted from Truthout.org [Read More]

  Simple. Just smile and refuse to let them in. Think of them as burglars coming to case your home or office, because everything they see and learn about you, your friends, and where you live and work could help an informant or provocateur know how to infiltrate your group or organize a break-in to get address books, membership records, and lists of financial contributors. An FBI provocateur I once knew and wrote about told me of a large check I had deposited years before

If the FBI and police lack a warrant and have no reason to suspect that a crime is underway, they have absolutely no legal right to enter without your permission. Why give it? No matter how friendly they seem, you have nothing to gain by letting them in. Be polite, sure. But leave it at that.

  Step outside to talk to them. Ask each of them for their identification. Take it in your hand - they hate that - and jot down all the information on it. Better yet, read the information into a small tape recorder, along with your play-by-play of what's going on. If you have a camera, ask to take their picture, or have someone else take your picture with them. Then, tell them you would love to talk to them, but only with your lawyer present. Would they care to make an appointment?
