The full effects of committing a serious crime seem to come as a surprise to people, especially the defendants.

If there is a violent crime against a person or any arrest involving a police SWAT team, then odds are you’re going to immediately see some of the direct and indirect consequences.

In the last few police raids, we’ve seen couples taken out of their homes in whatever clothes they had on at the instant police slapped on the cuffs.

These more dramatic arrests tend to lean more towards the covert side of investigations (i.e. drug cases) and are carried out in the hopes of catching the perpetrators red-handed.

Several of the latest drugs raids resulted in defendants awakening to the sound of flash-bang grenades crashing through their windows. Often defendants are suspected drug users and that lifestyle choice can easily run in to the wee hours of the morning.

So imagine slipping into a drained and euphoric sleep the night before and then the shock of waking up a few hours later to an explosion, one designed to physically stun its targets with a wave of crushing sound and blinding light. This is a direct consequence.
