Why should it fail? I mean, it wouldn't be the first time in history a
so-called secure facility has been raided.

Police stations are not armoured bunkers after all, they have a huge
variety of personnel and people walking through them every day, not too
count the assorted nutters there to report alien kidnappings, Elvis
sightings and escaped pigs in their cellar.

I always find it amusing that people seem to consider Police Stations in
the same way as Military Research Stations.

They aren't.

Spend a day in one, and watch what goes on - there are very few "secure"
areas in a Police Station, and only the larger precincts have secure
evidence storage lockers. I don't mean get arrested to spend time in a
station, but if you have a word with the desk sergeant and let them know
you are researching for a project/report/book whatever, they are usually
very helpful provided you keep out of the way. For those that happen to
have police officers as friends, just ask them. You might be surprised
at what they have to say.

Just a thought.
