“Searching” (actually just destroying) their home (with a warrant of course).
Taking them to a police station for a “talk” or arresting them for a bogus (but legal) reason, and them releasing them, repeatedly.
“Finding” some crimes that these relatives committed that only the state can prove such as tax evasion, money laundering, etc.
Making so that they can’t get a job at government institutions (or any company that receives government funding).
Setting bureaucratic roadblocks when they need to interact with the state in some way (if they need to some kind of permit or a license from the government they kiss it goodbye).
Instigating doxxing and bullying campaign on social media (a more recent practice).
Plainly paying someone to beat them up on the street (which the police of course will fail to investigate).
