Law Enforcement Agencies work in cooperation with DOJ and they obtain evidence with the use of warrant[1] which is issued by court.
Speaking of obtaining illegal evidence you can search for numerous court cases where judges turned blind eye on questionable methods of obtaining evidence using hacking techniques. Some of those cases were seizure of Dark Web websites and their servers. Courts will always protect government agencies because they want to be cohesive and in synergy.

- alsetmusic 6y agoTrue, there are judges who are massively corrupt who fail to observe the Fruit of the poisonous tree doctrine[0]. But I’ve certainly read accounts of judges doing the right thing and tossing ill-gotten evidence. It’s just so unusual that I can’t find examples in the limited time that I’m willing to search the web. So… that kinda says something. But the point being that it’s not universal that judges will facilitate such methods.
