Whenever authorities are looking for incriminating evidence in a raid, they sure do a stellar job of messing up the place.

Proof of that can be seen at Diddy's L.A. mansion where Homeland Security raided a couple of days ago.

TMZ has a video that shows panels being ripped off walls, computers being trashed since the feds took Diddy's harddrives. There's also stuff strewn around the house, with draws, cabinets, and a safe left open. 

Diddy's attorney, Aaron Dyer, spoke about the raid and called it a disgrace.

"Yesterday, there was a gross overuse of military-level force as search warrants were executed at Mr. Combs' residence," he said in a statement. "There is no excuse for the excessive show of force and hostility exhibited by authorities or the way his children and employees were treated."

"Mr. Combs was never detained but spoke to and cooperated with authorities. Despite media speculation, neither Mr. Combs nor any of his family members have been arrested nor has their ability to travel been restricted in any way ... This unprecedented ambush — paired with an advanced, coordinated media presence — leads to a premature rush to judgment of Mr. Combs and is nothing more than a witch hunt based on meritless accusations made in civil lawsuits."
