Police raids on LGBTQ+ nightclubs
type: Concept
comment: Unexpected and unannounced entry into and searches of nightclubs owned or frequented by LGBTQ+ people by law enforcement officers with the aim of using surprise to seize evidence or arrest suspects. Police raids may be undertaken legally using a search warrant or through exigent circumstances, such as probable cause, though the latter is highly subjective and civilians often have little resources to appeal illegal raids.
