FBI Caught On Camera Returning Seized Server

sunbird writes "As previously covered on Slashdot, on April 18th the FBI seized a server located in a New York colocation facility shared by May First / People Link and Riseup.net. The server, which was operated by the European Counter Network ('ECN'), the oldest independent internet service provider in Europe, was seized in relation to bomb threats sent to the University of Pittsburgh using a Mixmaster anonymous remailer hosted on the server (search warrant). The FBI's action has been criticized by the EFF. Predictably, the threats continued even after the server seizure. On April 24th, the FBI quietly returned the server, without notifying either Mayfirst / People Link or riseup, and were caught on video doing it."

Re:So, they returned a server

One of the ways society identifies shit people, and their fanbois, is by the way they never apologise or show any signs of remorse.

And one of the ways we spot the cloying, invertibrate culture rot that empowers the entitlement-desiring, politically correct twits that think Tweeting Their Outrage is something they should be paid to do is ... hearing how they expect apologies when there is nothing to apologize for.

A server is used to facilitate a bomb threat. A judge agrees that a warrant in the interests of checking the machine out for clues as to who considers threatening people's deaths in the name of their lefty movement is appropriate takes a few minutes and ... issues the warrant. The investigators execute the warrant, do their homework, and return the server. And you think they should apologize. Man, I've got to get one of those "Stop Global Whining" bumper stickers.
