Oh hey, look at that, the FBI did get a warrant authorizing this action, and signed off by a United States Magistrate Judge: https://www.justice.gov/d9/2023-08/23mj4244_application_redacted.pdf https://www.justice.gov/d9/2023-08/23mj4244_application_reda... Now, are judges sometimes too easy with warrants? Certainly. But this is definitely not the same as entering your house without a warrant, because the FBI did get a warrant. The warrant involves them promising to a judge under penalty of perjury that the Qakbot Uninstaller they are using makes no further changes and collects no additional data on any of the victim computers they are running on. So, the FBI is aware of your concerns and is taking steps to alleviate them. Does that make you feel better?

> Oh hey, look at that (…) Does that make you feel better? What? Why such snide? I am aware of what happened in this case. I was responding rhetorically to GGP since they were presenting an abstract scenario where the police show up and shut down the meth lab in your basement and then lock you out of your property on the way out… My goal was to highlight the cases where it is and isn’t okay for the police to do whatever they want. It’s not clear if GGP is aware that there are in fact restrictions on what the police can do on your private property in the US. And that even with a warrant there are limits on how the warrant is conducted.
