When you are dealing with these types of cases there are networks, and the sealed warrent many times is to help cover up what they actually have found and help get them leads on where the stuff came from and where it was going to without tipping off the metwork members. Undercover work is a lot more complex than just going in Rambo style and 'busting' the one guy.Heartland Patriot wrote:Yeah, I understand that LEOs wouldn't have as many good "busts" if people didn't snitch on each other...but that sealed warrant stuff is EXACTLY the kind of thing that ticks people off. Its not that any of us have a problem with ACTUAL CROOKS like this man getting arrested for stealing government property. But if the BATFE had a pretty good idea the guy had a bunch of stolen machine-gun barrels, then they should have just busted him for the barrels instead of playing all this cloak-and-dagger behind the scenes stuff. If the system is so twisted they feel they HAVE TO play these sorts of "games" to "win", well they need to take a good long look at how it got that way in the first place...mostly because of people of the same political persuasion as they are working for right now.texanjoker wrote:Sometimes a sealed warrant means somebody snitched and they don't want an identity revealed as there is an ongoing investigation.sjfcontrol wrote:What's a "sealed federal search warrant"? What's the point of sealing it, which I presume means nobody can know what's in it.
Is that so you can change it later to match whatever you find in the search?
