@zer0hedge...That's true, generally.
But they didn't follow through with the last two steps.I'm guessing that the pictures taken were the first three steps that you outlined above.
At that point, the servers sufficiently identified will be the subject of a specific warrant.
Unless we're talking about drug trafficking or some type of hacking crime that utilized the server, the police would have no rights to make an investigative seizure.If they are really stupid then they will wipe the server now. Thank you for sharing information with us....
