ST. PAUL, Minnesota (CNN) -- Police raided a rental hall used by a group organizing protests at the Republican National Convention in St. Paul, Minnesota, on Friday.

The RNC Welcoming Committee, which describes itself as "anarchist/anti-authoritarian," accused St. Paul police of trying to disrupt their protest planned for Monday, the day the GOP convention is set to begin.

While no one was arrested, the group said police temporarily detained and photographed at least 50 people who were inside the building.

St. Paul Police spokesman Tom Walsh said they were executing a search warrant.

"The cause for the search warrant is not public at this time," Walsh said.

As many as 30 police officers entered with guns drawn, according to witnesses in the building.

"The convergence center is simply a gathering place and is not used for illegal actions -- it is a place for workshops and trainings," a statement from the protest group said. "Tonight, we were watching films and sharing food."

"We are now accused of a simple fire code violation," the statement said.

Oddie Miller, a 19-year-old from Fort Collins, Colorado, said it was "just a space to get food, free Internet, community organization."

"There were no bombs or anything in there," Miller said

not true, search warrants are supposed to be posted and shown during a raid. and if you are in the raid, you can demand to read it.

claiming the document is not public is walking the line to witholding public data

search warrants are also supposed to dictate EXACTLY what they are after, any items TO BE seized, etc...

the reason they are trying to keep the search warant from being public (which it should be) is so they can alter it or change the "items to be seized" so they can take whatever they found and use it as evidence.

searc warrants are issued by judges for a very specific cause and reason. for example "we know there is meth lab in the back room" they are issued search warrant to enter.

claiming the search warrant is not public is first line of corruption because search warrants are very public.

good luck on trying to enforce any violations on behalf of the cops backed by judges
