Counter argument: I was at a talk given by an FBI agent to a group of system administrators in 2004. The agent urged us to do our own investigating.. audit logs, sniff packets, etc. The reasoning was that our servers and networks were our private property and we could do as we pleased, whereas the FBI is bound by law to seek warrants and be very careful not to violate anyone's rights. (The bulk of the talk was about computer forensics.)
