Are you an expert in identification and warrant? I never saw one, you could print a fake one and I couldn't tell if it's right. Same for any identification.
Once we talked about doing some relatively public MILSIM with friends. It didn't take 5 minutes for us to realize that it would end badly because of that. If your goal is to access Uber data or any big corporation for that matter, you can see how easy it would be to profit from that.
Thus, lock everything down and let legal experts actually take care of that seems like a pretty good solution to avoid this kind of situation. They are there to seize data, they can do it as much as they want. They can then force Uber to unencrypt the computers.

- learc83 9y agoIf you are in a situation where you really believe that a group of men have arrived at your Uber branch office with guns, fake badges, fake warrants, and fake uniforms, you should probably just give them what they want. At that point, they are either police or they are effectively armed robbers. If they're going to risk decades in jail anyway, there's a good chance they're just going to shoot you if you start telling them they can't have what they want. Your job isn't worth risking obstruction charges or facing down criminals.
