The unfortunate fact is that the FBI doesn't mind putting it in writing because any vestige of justice on our legal system has been swept away.

It still requires people to read court transcripts and find these nuggets of information about law enforcement practices and policies, after which they tell whoever is listening (typically on Twitter in my experience).
