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."

"Why should they have to apologize to them"
One of the ways society identifies shit people, and their fanbois, is by the way they never apologise or show any signs of remorse.
A much better way of identifying "shit people" is watching them do things like make ad hominem attacks instead of refuting a legitimate point. It's not their server (it belongs to ECN), and they legally siezed the server with a legitimate warrant.
