Not everyone who uses unscrupulous techniques in their investigation is the FBI, or even federal.
The undercover state cops working in the "Puppet Warehouse" in Philadelphia, were working far outside of their jurisdiction. They are being raked over the coals for how the whole process was pulled off- partially by a good friend of mine, who is a 50% owner of that warehouse. Apparently undercover investigations into the protesters around the Republican Convention were specifically prohibited, by a joint working group between the Feds and the State/City police managing the convention security. Any undercover activity needed signoff from the FBI, the mayor, and the Phila. Chief of Police. None of those people were consulted, or alerted, that the investigation was ongoing.
When the raid occurred, they cut the power to the warehouse, at the main. The power has yet to be restored.
Bollock - noun: British punk Slang term for testicle. as in, "Bollocks to you, mate". Generally presented with the two-fingered forehand gesture, aka, the reverse peace sign, regarded as 'Up Yours'. A freewheeling, funloving bit o' History.
