- Karunamon 15y agoStandard raid procedure for the feds - they take all the servers. I had it explained to me like this, imagine you store some goods in a (physical) warehouse where another customer was using it to store mass quantities of hard drugs (or kiddie porn, or humans, or other $contraband). When the raid inevitably comes, the warehouse will be shut down for a time, and you'll be unable to access your perfectly legal stuff until they get done. It's not right in any sense of the term, but as it stands, its legal. The cops have all the power.
