antifa graffiti gets the house searched

That's what stroke me from the first time i heard about the story. Since when graffiti is a reason for home search?

many minor political arrests lead to house raids

It is very common for arrests for minor crimes like graffiti to lead to house raids if they are "political". Animal rights activists have faced this kind of political targeting for a long time.

Much more serious crimes that don't have a political motive won't lead to a house raid.

Thanks for some comments there, I wonder would the police have reacted if they caught someone writing BNP? I would have said not. Also how dopes your average 25 year old street cop know what Antifa is unless basic knowledge of any group who use direct action is all part of basic training these days.
