How many “home invasions” are motivated by drug-trafficking? Police probably do wrong-address no-knock SWAT entries more often than are home invasions perpetrated on otherwise honest, law-abiding citizens. No statistics there either…

“The crime isn't tracked by many law enforcement agencies or nationally by the FBI, which lumps them in with burglaries or assaults. But one thing is sure, law enforcement officials say the incidence of home invasion robbery is on the rise nationwide, in large part due to the activities of Mexican drug cartels.”

A B&E if you happen to be home... I'm sure sometimes mistakes ate made by the bad guys.
Interesting question though.
