>>How in the world do you think that the FBI wouldn't bag and tag stuff if they planned on using it in court at a later date? Any fresh out of school lawyer could get that tossed in a heart beat.

Well it make sense when you understand that the FBI is not about seeking "justice", it is about enforcement and punishment.

The process is their goal, to make peoples lives miserable and to do "street justice" not to win in the court system and get a conviction

Further in this case, was also "Policing for Profit" which is what the entire civil asset forfeiture scheme is about.

This naive view that the FBI, or law enforcement in general, today is about "protecting the public" and "getting justice for victims" is laughably absurd
