“I never said that they were participating in Internet gambling,” Eddie Williams, MGC deputy director, said. UNQUOTE

The way I read that, it means that officialdom can walk into a business, confiscate 40 of its computers and stuff up its business efficiency in doing so....yet not have to give a reason.

Astonishing.

Happens all the time most specifically in federal cases where possibly money laundering,etc is suspected. Not an attorney and tired so do not quote me exactly. I believe the Fed. agencies(for sure,not sure about states) must obtain 2 signatures from 2 different judges on a warrant, then the Fed. agencies have the right to raid,search and seize any or all of one's or more's possessions as confiscated evidence in order to go back to I assume the judges,etc.(possibly grand jury but not sure) to obtain an indictment. I believe this must be done within 5 days of the actual search and seizure of evidence but I am winging this as too tired to get the accurate specifics but I am in the ballpark.
