Andersen, a self-described anarcho-capitalist who opposed efforts to ban encryption in Denmark, says that when publishing the numbers, he did not explicitly say that they were the Prime Minister’s phone and civil registration number (originally a social security number). The masked men, who verbally identified themselves as police but were dressed in civilian clothes, can be seen breaking down the door, while Anderson stands naked with his hands raised.
The viral footage was captured by Google Nest cameras, and Anderson says the power was cut off immediately after the door was broken down, so they don’t have much footage of what happened afterwards.

Andersen said in a video posted to He points out that it was not so long ago that the Danish Prime Minister’s address and phone number were public information, but now in the 21st century this has changed.
Anderson clearly sees the publication of frederiksenThe information given as a form of protest they hope will provide publicity for their cause.
“I’m just asking, why can’t we the people have privacy when politicians apparently have all the privacy in the world, secret phone numbers, secret addresses, 24-hour armed security, etc?” Anderson said.

Our freedom and privacy are under attack and if we protest a little then the policy can be implemented. pic.twitter.com/kGBmatAjFZ– Lars Andersen (@LarsAnders1620) June 20, 2026
Prime Minister Frederiksen has been in office since 2019 and is the leader of the left-wing Social Democrats. Anderson is a former police officer and libertarian-style activist who has advocated for digital privacy rights, drug legalization and combating the spread of anti-Muslim messages online.
In 2011, he reportedly wrote, “I believe that Muslim men are raping, abusing, and murdering their daughters on a large scale around the world,” among other messages that violated Danish law.
Anderson believes the confiscation of his home security cameras was a violation of local law, and he published a letter from his attorney on X outlining the ways in which he believes his rights were violated.
But Anderson thinks all the attention on social media is helpful for his own advocacy, writing, “The police and government really are their own worst enemies when they act like this. It’s almost ridiculous how bad they are at public relations.”
