The article highlights how some people use “raid” broadly to mean “a sudden invasion by officers of the law.” It then explains that others see a clear distinction between the two words. To them, “a search is what happens when officers are acting on a search warrant, and a raid is a sudden forceful incursion made when surprise is necessary to apprehend someone.”

On the other hand, the FBI’s entrance is seen by many as a “sudden invasion” since it was unannounced and unprecedented.
