Just two days after Ben Affleck was visited by the FBI amid the LA wildfires, the police showed up again and they got into a heated exchange. Law enforcement showed up at the 52-year-old actor's home a second time on Wednesday regarding an investigation.

Ben Affleck Frustrated With Second Police Visit
Best known for Good Will Hunting and Pearl Harbor, Affleck was visibly frustrated with the officers on Sunday. They exchanged a few words as Affleck leaned out of his BMW window chatting with the cops in their police car.
At one point in the conversation, the actor threw his arm out and pointed toward the exit. It looked to be in an animated way, perhaps in annoyance. According to Page Six, a source said cops were in the neighborhood for a different reason.
Nearby homeowners hired private security to keep "residents from going to their homes." The outlet also found out that Affleck spoke to the cops "about that situation" and eventually went back into his house.
During the first visit, two FBI agents and two sheriff deputies attempted to contact Affleck but with no luck. They couldn't talk to him through his call box outside of his gated home, so they left the premises.
We know that during the first visit, the authorities were investigating an unauthorized drone that collided with a firefighting aircraft. It seems this second encounter was for an entirely different issue, as these were hired security.
At the time, Page Six figured out that the agents visited Affleck's home "to see if he had CCTV footage of a private drone which damaged a super scooper." This is a type of firefighting aircraft meant to mitigate the wildfires that have blazed LA for the past week.
Affleck, alongside his ex-wife Jennifer Garner and their three children, weren't as affected by the fires as other celebrities. Although the actor had to evacuate and seek refuge at Garner's house, it was much worse for others. Mandy Moore lost her home, as well as Jeff Bridges, and many more.
It seems Affleck is not in trouble with law enforcement, and the second visit was just coincidental. We're unsure if the actor is willing to cooperate if the FBI shows up again concerning the drone incident.
