1

For those whose adversary might be a law enforcement agency officer or nation state as mentioned in

2

the OPSEC rules you should plan for the knock and getting arrested interrogated and even tortured if

3

that's the sort of regime that you are living on.

4

You must have plans and defenses in advance for the knock.

5

Examples could be you might have your laptop with no battery in it and a kill switch to power it off

6

because you know that this will prevent decryption by someone trying to extract a decryption key from

7

memory.

8

You might elect to have your private key and secret data stored in encrypted SD card that can be snapped

9

easily.

10

You might have a planned escape route.

11

There are many potential defenses you could employ make your not plan as you go through the course if

12

you have this level of need always remain calm and controlled but act as if anxious scared and confused

13

.

14

If you are not already this will work in your favor if your country has a legal system you can somewhat

15

rely on then have a solicitor ready to call you can deal with the situation.

16

Your money may get seized.

17

So it would be better to have prepaid your solicitor in advance how much to prepay them depends on the

18

activities you are involved in.

19

You should know based on the nation that you're in have Cova prearrange signals to others who need to

20

know of your arrest or simply that you've been visited If you need them in English speaking nations

21

saying no comment or questions is often advantageous.

22

But this really depends on your situation and where you are.

23

Inference could be drawn from your silence which is why you need to have planned for this situation

24

.

25

Have a solicitor know your rights and your best strategy in advance.

26

So do research in advance so you know your rights don't fall for interrogation techniques where you

27

old into a false sense of security or where they play to your ego.

28

They are not going to try to help you.

29

No matter what they say their job is to get a conviction.

30

Forget about trust and justice your interrogator will only be interested in a conviction.

31

They never have your best interests at heart no matter what they say.

32

They have their own agendas and it is usually simply to get a conviction in the West.

33

They need evidence and solid evidence to charge you with any crime.

34

In other repressive nations evidence may be relevant as you will probably know if you live in if that

35

is the case for you then you need to understand in advance how the system works.

36

So you can work that system for those in Western countries activists Web sites are often a good place

37

for general legal advice.

38

Here's an example here for a UK activist site and will be the equivalent in the U.S. or Australia or

39

everywhere else.

40

There's a lot the audience will be from the US in the US.

41

Often the substantiative standard used is totality of circumstances a totality of circumstances standard

42

suggests that there is no single deciding factor that one must consider all facts the context and conclude

43

from the whole picture whether there is a probable cause or whether an alleged detention is really a

44

detention or whether a citizen acted on the color of law.

45

That means the more failures of OPSEC a more clear picture you paint of your behavior when interviewed

46

.

47

Make careful note of who they don't want information about.

48

If you have any co-conspirators co-conspirators could be working with your adversary if they don't ask

49

about that co-conspirator.

50

It could be because they're working with your adversary.

51

Polygraph testing there is no scientific basis for polygraph testing.

52

It's entirely dependent on your ignorance and fear.

53

Educate yourself on it.

54

If asked to do one a good book to read on this it's actually a PDA.

55

If you can just simply download is called the lie behind the lie detector and this show you the trickery

56

on which the polygraph testing depends and you can learn how to make sure you pass the polygraph test

57

.

58

And there's also this Web site as well on anti polygraph and they also have plenty of videos on YouTube

59

in countries with more repressive regimes.

60

All bets are off I'm afraid.

61

As I have no idea as to how exactly they might deal with you but you have to understand the system so

62

you can work that system if indeed that is at all possible.

63

I would recommend learning about interrogation and counter interrogation techniques that will always

64

help a lot.

65

There are books you can buy but do your own research plan for the worst hope for the best
