We were talking about this yesterday. Even as a JBT I think SWAT is HIGHLY overused.
After the Department of Education raided the home of a Stockton man Tuesday morning, officials said the search was part of an ongoing investigation into financial aid fraud.
An official with the U.S. Department of Education returned phone calls to News 10 Wednesday morning, saying the search warrant is part of a criminal investigation and not because of unpaid student financial aid loans.

There are criminals running schemes to defraud the student aid program using some of the same methods that are used to defraud medicare to the tune of billions of dollars a year.
You guys sure you aren't rooting for the wrong team?
I agree with you completely but the title of the thread is misleading in the extreme: Pay your student loans or get raided!If this was due to fraud, then I hope they catch her... but even if she had lived there, sending in a SWAT team to collect evidence of loan fraud is way beyond the scope of what I want my gubment doing. If the student aid program is that rife with abuse, then perhaps they need to implement some better measures to prevent it in the first place as well.

It's a criminal investigation, not a debt collection.
More like we need somebody to throw under the bus if we F it up ...

There probably aren't any good guys in this story.
The guys wife, and possibly him too, are likely involved in defrauding the federal government and the federal agency enforced a search warrant with unnecessary tactics.
