Video: Police Raid On The Mansion Of Megaupload’s Kim Dotcom

For more than six months there have been claims and counterclaims about what happened in January when New Zealand police raided the mansion of Megaupload founder Kim Dotcom. Now video of the event has been released to the public and it includes helicopters, armed officers, dog units and multiple police vehicles – Hollywood style.

Kim Dotcom began giving evidence in the Auckland High Court yesterday at the start of a three day hearing into what happened during the January raid on his New Zealand mansion.

The Megaupload founder described how he heard stones being kicked up onto his bedroom window by helicopters, later revealed to be carrying officers from the Special Tactics Group, New Zealand’s elite anti-terror force.

This overwhelming display of force, detailed in our earlier article, only added to the huge controversy surrounding the dramatic Megaupload takedown, but until now has only been described in words. Today that changed.

3News’ Campbell Live show has been running footage captured from the onboard cameras of helicopters involved in the raid. Audio can be heard throughout describing what is happening on the ground, including the status of Kim Dotcom, his wife and children, and his staff.

“We have five Philippine females and three children,” a voice on the police radio said.


Dotcom Raid

All along Dotcom has insisted that the raid was ordered by Hollywood and if the footage is anything to go by, it certainly lives up to that billing.

       The biggest stupidity of all asides from the idiot who coordinated the raid (he should be relieved), is the fact that the courts and politicians tolerate this Power Lobbying from Hollywood and the Music industry which leads to embarrassing moments like this for the US.  Doesn’t the US have lobby laws lmao.  Sure there might be piracy, but they are pirates in themselves by exercising an unimaginable influence on the FBI, global law enforcement and politicians; they should be punished.  You no right to control or strongly influence a government body as such should be against the law; but the US is truly the Wild Wild West.

        Public officials who commit crimes must be penalized to a far higher degree than an ordinary citizen because of the breach of public trust.

         eight and a half month pregnant wife made to stand out in the rain in winter at gunpoint for almost an hour, guns pointed at children. When wife started having early contractions and asked to be taken to hospital police refused and said ‘call an ambulance’ despite having confiscated all the phones. The real criminals here are govt officials. Why are they not locked up? Because the system has been corrupted, and it’s just like the torturers working for the US being indemnified from prosecution.
        Only by mnaking public officials personally and financially responsible for their actions will this sort of situation be prevented.

    • Violated0

      The security camera recordings on computer were seized during this raid and are sure to show some juicy events. The problem here as concluded by Court rulings are as follows…

      1. These recordings are not part of the evidence concerning the multiple charges against Kim Dotcom & Mega and so should not have been seized in the first place.

      2. These recordings belong to Kim Dotcom and he is rightly allowed uncontrolled access to them. This is extra important because of Kim’s claims that they used unreasonable use of force during this raid for which these recordings provide major evidence.

      3. The raid and seizure has been ruled unlawful because the warrant used (overlooking the wrong form used) contain only general information meaning that Kim Dotcom upon reading this Search & Seizure warrant could NOT have understood the charges against him. We have yet to see the results of this unlawful raid.

      Well them still holding on to Kim’s recordings unlawfully sure makes you wonder who here aims for law and justice and who the real criminals are? They of course appeal every ruling against them causing long delays.

          A fundamental tenet of international law to which both the US and NZ are signatories was established at the Neuremburg War Crimes trials.
          For those ignoramii who ‘don’t get it’ the principle established is that failure to refuse an illegal order makes an officer or soldier or official an accomplice.
          According to the legal precedents established they are required not just to refuse the order but to restrain the person issuing the order and to report the illegal order to a higher authority.
          Can’t expect ignorant brainwashed simpletons to comprehend even the most basic legal principles though can we?

        • Tidaltree

           @ Dave: And what to do, if the illegal order stems from the highest authority available? (In the case of germany that would be in the political structure, thus even “above” the direct chain of command of the police force. Don’t know how it is structured in NZ, though…)

          well, as he referred to the “Political Prostitution” video I was more thinking of the New Zealand politicians that decided it’d be a good idea to obey the request of the US to throw in their most advanced anti terrorist force and raid the house of a supposed “copyright infringer”, without ever questioning anything.

          I mean, sure, MAFIAA and their tactics are pure evil, but all they really do is pump in loads of money into the pockets of every politician whom they then basically own (textbook corruption…). What we really need are politicians with enough integrity to stand up to them, be it in the US, New Zealand, or any and every other country in the world.

          @ac772b48d6728242138b1df18c9716e5:disqus  They were provided with enough information to know this was a low-threat operation, so why did they feel the need to go in with semi-automatic weapons, or even send in an elite anti-terror squad in the first place? They’ve clearly been caught in the lie.

        • Guest

           @Jatillpirater:disqus

          The anti-terrorist unit was not given the choice of whether or not to go in, the choice was made by their superiors. In addition, automatic weapons are standard issue for such units. Whenever they are sent in, their job is to treat the situation as high risk. The individual force members are not given the information necessary to know that the orders they are being given are likely overzealous and illegal.

      • dave

         the law requires officers to refuse unlawful orders. Complying with illegal orders renders the officer criminally liable also.
        This is one of the most outrageous things about Bradly Manning being locked up with no charges in solitary and tortured. He was required, under law, to blow the whistle on the war criminals torturing and mass murdering in the name of the USA. These international laws were clearly established by the Allied govts including the US at the Neuremburg trials after world war two and remain a fundamental of international law to which the US is a signatory to this day.
        Those police officials AND those who instructed them MUST be charged under the crimes act. THAT IS THE LAW, which govts seem to break with impunity post 911

      It’s not their fault, wars are all about kids shooting kids in the face and we forgive their atrocities because they do it following orders.
      It’s the commanders, the ones in charge, the politicians taking the bribes from hollywood and letting the US government tell them what to do that should be fined.
      They swore to work for their country, not for their wallets, not for some fascist companies, not for the US, for their country and the people that elected them.

      • Guest

        “We forgive”? Speak for yourself. Following orders is never an excuse, the one actually carrying out an order has to know why he or she does so and be able to defend or justify it. Of course, those who give the orders are to blame too.

      • Guest

        The commanders give the orders but the kids are the ones who pull the triggers. They’re the most responsible party.

        The commanders are sure as fuck responsible, too, but I’m tired of this bullshit where we pretend those who carry out the act have no responsibility for it. 

  • blah blah

    Wish these countries would quit bending over backwards to Hollywood.   Everyone blames the U.S. for this crap. However it’s your countries leaders that are being bought.  Way over the top in how they handled this.  Wwwaaaayyy over the top.
    Hope the case gets thrown out for that simple fact alone.  I know it sure as hell would here in the U.S.  Multi-million dollar lawyers would have a field day with this.

    They act like the drug cartels were running that site and Kim was the leader.   The worst part is if the drug cartels actually do decide to get into the game. WTF is the Hollywood going to do then?  They sure as hell won’t be buying politicians from any country at that point. 

    Never used Mega-Upload however that video makes me sick.  Two men with a warrant could of handled this.  They had the data center secure.. WTF were these people thinking? It’s like they thought they were going after Osama Bin Laden.

      • Blah Blah

         
        Point taken  That kind of mindset however is why the MAFIAA has such a low public opinion of them. It also seems to be the reason cases get thrown out half the time on technicalities. 

        I dunno watching that just makes me ask myself how I would of reacted.   Seeing such an absurd amount of force being used, scaring the shit out of everyone would make my blood boil.  Hell it might even turn me violent. They escalated that situation way higher than it should of ever been escalated.

        It’s happened plenty of times here in the U.S. and they authorities have learned a lot from those incidents.  Authorities have used such excessive amounts of force that they turned what probably would of never of been a blood bath into one. 

        I’m not saying go up prancing like fairies and saying please “turn yourself in.” 
        You don’t look at that and think wtf were these idiots thinking?  It’s wide open ground if they know he is in there. Where the hell is that fat ass going to run?

       I seem to remember reading in the local news that there was a police officer in the house with him (can’t remember why) who told the authorities that if they ever wanted entry to just ask and he would open the gate. And a number of other police have voiced serious concern over the scale of this ridiculous Hollywood-style Operation Rambo.

      It takes no great stretch of imagination to believe this farce was directly ordered by Hollywood gangsters through their political lapdogs in the USA. I think the NZ authorities were quite clearly lied to by the Americans about the nature of the ‘threat’. Let us hope the courts redeem them by throwing out the extradition, and showing the US that NZ respects the rights of those who have not been found guilty of a crime.

      And we could perhaps hope that the UK also takes note.

      The court (prosecution) can dismiss the footage all they want, So far what is shown of the footage that has already be made available clearly in court etc. clearly shows that there was way too much over the top and shouldn’t have been used like it was. The more they seek to dismiss the footage more they will show there deseperations to cover up and to hide the truth of what they have done.

    this whole raid, and that is definitely what it was, was done at the behest of the US entertainment industries and ‘ok’d’ by a senior member of the US government. whether it was Joe Bidden or not, i dont know and i doubt if it will ever be known. it was carried out in the way it was to instill the maximum amount of fear, intimidation and theatrics as possible. if there was any chance of Kim being a ‘dangerous criminal’ or a ‘flight risk’, it would have been a different matter. it was already known he would not be any trouble when confronted, but that again didn’t matter. it was also done in this way to intimidate as many other cyberlockers, torrent sites, file sharing sites and any other site they could. there has been nothing but total bollocks put out to try to justify the raid and as much done as possible to withhold evidence of what really happened, how it happened, by whom and to whom. hopefully, this video will clear up some of the myths of the raid and the court can see for itself why none of what happened was needed. perhaps it can also see how the NZ government went along with the US demands and ridiculous excuses/reasons instead of standing up to them, then can inflict punishment in that direction, as it is surely needed!

  • Truth

    All this reminds me of point number 10 @ http://kim.com/scandal. Who broke the law, the law did, who told the law to break the law, the US government did, who told the US government to break the law, Hollywood did – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oYNeQ4i7Ne8&feature=player_detailpage#t=170s  *ponder*, hang on a second Sony is a Japanese company. So  Hollywood and Japan bribed the US government to break the law. There has to be a film in that somewhere *evil grin*.

    10. Who are the only entities the new Zealand court has found to have violated the law ?

    The New Zealand court found that the New Zealand police used an illegal
    search warrant to confiscate hard drives and other materials from Kim
    Dotcom and further found that the FBI violated the law when they took hard drive data outside of New Zealand without authorization.

        No they didn’t, he died at least 5 or 6 years ago. His family held a funeral for him when his kidney’s finally failed. He’d had that kidney disorder for years, and at one point (way after the invasion of Afghanistan) the CIA were looking after him at a hospital in Pakistan where he was undergoing emergency treatment for it. It’s just that they realised the Bin Laden bogeyman story didn’t work anymore and they needed to find a way to close that chapter of government propaganda without leaving any unanswered questions like “so whatever did happen to Bin Laden – I thought the whole point we invaded Afghanistan was to find him?” It’s all in the public record – you can go and read it all for yourself.

        Has it been proved that Kitm Dotcom bought his luxorious mansion at the expense of copyright holders and found guilty of the charge that you are stating”????? It has not actually been proved in a court of law that Kim Dotcom did anything illegal with Megaupload and therefore you have no evidence to back your accusation. Kim Dotcom is innocent of the charges until it has been found and proved in a court of law otherwise. So far all it has been shown with regards to this whole affair is that the police involved etc. are the ones to have committed the wrong doing with breaking the law as it has been ruled so far by the NZ judge that the warrant, the searches and taken away of hard drives and cloning of hard drives and transfering the data back to the US etc. has all been Illegal. It would be very wise to keep your comments that what he actually did was illegal etc. until he has actually been found guilty in a court of law otherwise you open yourself to being shot down in flames by posters. Innocent until actually proved guilty by a court of law.

        • http://nejtillpirater.wordpress.com/ Nejtillpirater

          “Kim Dotcom is innocent of the charges until it has been found and proved in a court of law otherwise.”

          Sure, but you can still express your opinion about it.

          Are you as rigid as that when pirates are talking about the MAFIAA, bribes etc? My impression of the reasoning here (not 100% but the majority):

          - When the “industry” does something, they’re guilty even if they’re not even formally changed
          - The Police, judges etc that enables conviction of pirates are bribed etc. and they’re almost never even formally suspected for it.

          But when a person is suspected for piracy, it becomes extremely important to state that the person has not been proven guilty yet. And if the person has, a “crime” has been committed by the persons convicting him. And that “crime” does not need to be proven beyond reasonable doubts, which is unreasonable.

          Do you see the pattern?

        • Anyone

          @nejtillpirater:disqus
          the difference is what the MAFIAA is doing might be legal, but is morally wrong, while what the pirates are doing is morally right, but might be illegal

          “Sure, but you can still express your opinion about it.”

          You’re not expressing your opinion about anything, you’re lying that Kim Dotcom is a criminal when he isn’t. 

          “The Police, judges etc that enables conviction of pirates are bribed etc. and they’re almost never even formally suspected for it.”

          That’s because the police and judges, etc. that have enabled the conviction of pirates have done so through provably illegal means. Did you miss where the NZ court ruled that the warrent was invalid? THE RAID AGAINST KIM DOTCOM WAS AGAINST THE FUCKING LAW. 

          What explanation is there for it if not bribery and corruption? Ilegal raids carried out by anti-terrorist units against private citizens who have no terrorist ties, no history of violence, and have been merely accused of some minor white-collar wrongdoings are not a normal fucking occurence. That shit does not just happen naturally. If there’s an explanation that doesn’t involve corruption and bribery, I would love to hear it from you. 

          “Do you see the pattern?”

          Yes, I see the pattern. You keep pretending there’s no corruption going on despite it being slightly indicated by things like, oh I don’t know, illegal extra-judicial police raids.

        Doesn’t Sweden have criminal libel on the statute books? Dotcom may not be a public servant, so you probably are not a criminal, but don’t your civil libel laws also say *you* have to back up your statements with facts and prove “the truth” because personal belief is not a defence?

        Do you have libel and slander insurance, or are you just hoping nobody sues you for defamation? If you really do have a blog you’d better have your lawyer go over it.

        He isn’t a criminal.  If this ever gets to trial, which I suspect it won’t ever do, he may one day be a criminal, but not today.

        This kind of insane take-down is for when you’re arresting a major drug lord with a butt-load of machine guns and the henchmen to shoot them, not some guy who’s a businessman with his wife, kid, and nannies in the house.  All they had to do was contact his lawyer and arrange to meet with him in the DA’s office.  It would have saved NZ taxpayers hundreds of thousands of dollars.

    Remember, he was arrested in 2002 for insider trading and in 2003 for embezzlement. He’s a career criminal and the police knew what they were dealing with, so they used a large police force. Being overly cautious is something the police have a right to do.

    • Anyone

      why are you bringing up those old cases where he served his sentence?

      if anything those cases show that he doesn’t hide from the law, he didn’t resist arrest back then, why would he have resisted arrest now?

      • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_TMJ66JH4SIZIQ46DJIQCC6TCYI Alfred

          government however are all wondering why the hell it turned into a super
          raid and looking to find someone to blame. Which just goes to show they
          themselves feel it was over the top. Sorry, currently there is no “obvious” reason.

        • Guest

          The size of the arresting force depends on how dangerous the suspect is, it isn’t based on the number of their alleged crimes. 

          According to the size of the raid, Kim Dotcom is more dangerous than 10 Rambos put together.

      Man, I wish they’d do this to the jerks on Wall Street who destroyed the entire planet’s economy and then demanded their million-dollar bonuses be paid out of the money the taxpayers gave them to bail them out.  It would be wrong, just as this was wrong, but it would make me very happy.

      “police knew what they were dealing with”

      That’s right. They knew they were dealing with a non-violent offender. So all they did was mount a completely excessive raid against him based on a fraudulent warrent using a tactical anti-terrorist unit. I don’t know why people are getting so bend out of shape?

      they might have been copyrighted, they might not have been, privacy laws forbid MU to scan the files for that

          Yes, clearly the MU lawyers somewhat dropped the ball when KDC asked them “Is rewarding users for uploading anything, even copyrighted media, ever going to backfire on me?” lol

          Discontinuing a rewards program after the fact is a little irrelevant of course. The business was built around selling subscriptions…..and you don’t profit personally by over $100 million because you’re serving up funny pet videos.

        • Anyone

          lots of people need cloudspace, for example if you want to email large files a service like MU is perfect
          also the rewards program was great for people wanting to distribute their files for free, yet still earn something, for example programmers of freeware, it wasn’t created for piracy

          you don’t have any number how many of MUs users were infringing copyright, but according to a recent statistic released by the MAFIAA MU had very few infringing links when compared to other filehosters
          now, generally the numbers the MAFIAA make up are not to be trusted, but in this case those are the only numbers I have, so I’ll go with them until I get them from a more reliable source

    • MadAsASnake

      DCMA. Inconvemient as you may find this, it applies. He gave hollywood more in fact than he had to.Dotcom is guilty of a.) not running his business the way mafiaa wanted, b.) not bribing US politicians or c.) both. Why should he do any of those things? I don’t.

    • Guest

      It Hasn’t been proved in a court that Kim Dotcom has been found guilty of the charges and crimes that have been made against him. So far the only thing that has been proved so far in the whole of this case is that the warrant, searches, and seizure of hard drives and cloning of hard drives and transfer of data to the US was Illegal by the police and that the police themselves are so far have committed the wrong doing and in breech of the law and not Kim Dotcom. If the court uphelds the ruling that the warrants etc. were Illegal then the evidence obtained from this would no doubt be ruled inadmissable in a court of law and because of this police misconduct etc. with regards to the illegal warrant etc. will no doubt sway towards the extradition being dismissed. NO extradition would mean NO court case in the US. Kim Dotcom is innocent of crimes and charges against him until it has been actually proved, found guilty and sentenced in a court of law and not before.

      • MadAsASnake

        Can’t imagine that an NZ court will grant the extradition. They haven’t even made the charges clear yet… and the NZ judges – they want to see them, and some evidence…

       I think you are missing the point with MU (possibly deliberately).

      I was hoping there for a moment that when these helicopters approached some SAM sites sprang out of the lawn followed by a volley of missile launches. Then I remembered that one is not allowed to blow up your Government officials, and their expensive helicopters, no matter how much you want to protect your home and family.

      Kim did have several security guards but they of course are there to protect the place from criminals and where they would soon stand down when faced with Governmental officials baring court orders.

      My only real hope is the next time this happens they swap their panic room for an escape tunnel.

But people elsewhere don’t have indoor plumbing or running water! If you don’t like the leak in your plumbing just move out if you don’t like it!”

        Of course Pelouzey knows which side of his bread is buttered – with industry white chocolate.

          Really Guest, care to explain why I’m the reason that this problem exists.

          When a person has the option to start taking control and being responsible for their own actions their decision was instead to stay where they are and whine on the internet.

          It’s not as if “theonlyone” woke up yesterday morning with an opinion that where they live is shit and a blanket statement that the country they live in is shit.

          Its obviously been their long enough for them to take some sort of action to improve their situation.

          And no, i don’t believe that people should just up and vanish – but one less negative, inactive whining asshat isn’t going to make any difference to change in the area where they live.

          So yes,they should move away, they’re not doing anything, they’re not helping, just whining, go do it somewhere else……and god damn……get a backbone you spineless fool.

          ……he deserves the response he got.

          And you would know this how, exactly? Not everyone is immediately aware of problems and the extent at which they are entrenched. Backlash to things like SOPA and ACTA have been considered a relatively recent phenomenon. Someone could easily look at this and how the USA is trying to champion greater and harsher copyright enforcement worldwide and come to conclusion, “Damn, things really suck.”

          If you’re a new employee in a company where things have been run as a result of bureaucracy designed to benefit individuals at the top, do you think that you’ll be in a position to change anything? Are you effectively saying that issues have to be resolved by some sell-by-date before you are treated as a whiner?

          You want to know why you’re the reason problems exist? Because when people – regardless of who they are, and how long a problem has been affecting them – point out a problem, it’s people like you who tell them to shut up. You want them to ignore that problems exist and that if you don’t like them, up and leave – because you’ll get another obedient peon to beg for SOPA or slip them into legislation somehow. Coming from a copyright maximalist like you that’s not surprising; you don’t want problems resolved at all. You benefit from people upping and leaving if they won’t bend over and take it. Hell, if college kids were being SWAT teamed and people complained about it you’d say, “They deserved it. If you don’t like it, you can just leave.”

        Sorry dude, didnt know you were a scat lover. You mad?

        • PelouzeTF

          Go take control of your life and if you don’t like where you live and aren’t doing anything about it…….it’s your own god damn fault.

          Or you could just whine about it and make completely unsubstantiated blanket statements.

          Let me guess which course of action you’ll take LOL

      • Tidaltree

         And where would you run to? New Zeeland? Irak? Afghanistan? You should well make sure that there is nothing there, that either the industry, or the music industrie, or anyone with the money to bribe politicians to further “their cause” would possibly want. Just to BE sure. So moon and mars are out of question already…

        • PelouzeTF

          Only a moron considers where to live based on the ability to pirate media.

        • Tidaltree

           I haven’t talked about the abitlity to pirate media. I’ve talked about ressources, ideas, rights to ideas, influence, and such things. The arm of corporate america has gotten very long and is an old tradition indeed. (Compare “The War on Drugs”[tm]/Anslinger for example. And it’s far from the oldest example…)

  • Dustin

    Hahahaha that serves that greedy pig right. Take everything from him, smash him. He doesn’t fight for the internet or your right to download. He fights for his ass not being played with in prison

    • PelouzeTF

      Exactly…..you would have to be really simple to believe that KDC’s business plan was for the betterment of the internet.

      It’s always a good card to play though and he’s playing it non-stop. Because you know that most people using the free aspect of online file sharing will always be behind you …”because the nasty people who create stuff are trying to take ‘our’ shit away…….KDC was a hero for giving it to us and an internet savior”

      LOLOL so much BS comes from KDC’s mouth, its only slightly more comical than the freetards that believe him in the first place..

      • theonlyone

         Oh yeah I control congress and all political powers in this fucked up country. What kind of drugs are you on, bath salts?

        • PelouzeTF

          I’m assuming that you’re responding to the previous thread string.

          You said “(US is a real shithole place to live these days)”

          Explain why…..what exactly on an everyday basis makes it a shithole…and while we’re at it….what have you done about your own circumstances to improve it. Beyond sitting there and whining.

          Looking at your previous posts, you think the general populous of the US are slaves LOL. You’re a slave because you make yourself one…….waiting for everything to be handed to you on a plate…..people like you make me sick. Get up of your lazy entitled ass and do something about your own everyday circumstances. Thats where you’ll make a difference, not laying the blame on everyone else.

      • theonlyone

         You were sick long before you read my posts. waa waa waa I hate people like you that try to stick up for government sponsored corporate fascism. You think your shit dont stink and you are the type that is stinking up this country the most. Go eat your corporate breakfast and get your government sponsored cancer. Fuck you and fuck you again. Oh and try to get off the drugs ok.

      • theonlyone

        Explain why…..what exactly on an everyday basis makes it a
        shithole…and while we’re at it….what have you done about your own

        I have worked hard all my life. I have been honest and paid my taxes. I help people when I can with their problems on a daily basis. If you cant see why its a “shithole” you have your eyes closed.

    “He stood by a threat assessment stating Dotcom was violent and had made threats to injure or kill, citing an assault complaint made two weeks before the raid by a former staff member at the Coatesville mansion.No charges were laid after the complaint, which Mr Davison said involved a disgruntled former staff member being removed from the property by security guards after refusing to leave.”

    Sounds like they had shit intel. Perhaps the doorbell would have been more useful.
