LEO's tend to view [[:Category:Survivalism|Survivalists]] with suspicion due to a general lumping of them in with perceived anti-[[government]] movements such as [[Constitutionalist]]s (e.g. ''[[Posse Comitatus]]''), [[White supremacist]]s (e.g. ''Elohim City'') and [[Neo-Nazi]]'s (e.g. ''The Order'').  A number of violent confrontations between these latter groups and police have ended badly with lives lost for both sides.  Consequently unless a [[Survivalist|survivalist]] or "[[prepper]]" demonstrates he or she belongs to a sanctioned [[emergency preparedness]] organization such as FEMA's [[CERT| CERT (GO program)]] or the American [[Red Cross]\] (NGO program), revealing one is prepared for any contingency may result in a negative escalation of the contact with law enforcement.  At the very least the LEO will request back-up, at the most may result in an investigation to see if the [[Survivalist|survivalist]] belongs to an alleged [[domestic terrorist]] group.
