By omitting the part of the article that very clearly discusses this aspect, just one sentence below that, I put it to you that you are the dishonest one here.
"In court filings, however, Gluck and other attorneys representing anonymous plaintiffs argue that the seizure of the nests "does not appear to be the government's true purpose here."
"A reasonable person could easily conclude that taking and searching the contents of the boxes was the true purpose of the USPV seizure, not just an unintended but unavoidable byproduct as the government seeks to portray and justify it," they write.
Do they think we are stupid? "We want to seize these useless shelves, because we don't have the legal authority to search the boxes. Oh, now we've moved the shelves, we get to look into the boxes! What a surprise!"
They got a subpoena for something with _no informational value_ because they knew they could _abuse_ the law to look into and take things they had no right to take.
- jhayward 5y agoPlease read more carefully. I quote myself: "They provided a mechanism, which the article notes is somewhat suspect in its underlying effect, for owners to identify their property" This is clearly referring to the text you quote. I assume readers have read the actual article. So, since I clearly included reference to the information you are incensed about, who is it that is doing a dishonest reading here? You have misleadingly claimed I didn't include the reference.
