Reason, Jan, 2003 by Charles Oliver
Sandy Cohen, 85, had just finished taking a shower when Philadelphia police started knocking on her door, clutching a search warrant for drugs. She reached the door just as an explosive device they had planted blew it off its hinges. A SWAT team burst in, pointing their guns at her. Raising her arms, she told them they had the wrong house.
One cop simply snarled, "That's what they all say." But after checking the house out, the cops found they had indeed got the wrong one, something neighbors had tried to tell them as they planted the explosives.
