How a Search warrant works - an example from Tampared_smile

Yesterday's Tampa paper carried a story on the search of one person's home, plus the seizure of her car and computer hard drive:

If a server had been there, it too would have been seized.
Anything relevant on the harddrive can and will be used as evidence.

If all of the juicy stuff were on a server out of the country, I suppose that Tampa LE could not get to it. BIMBW. Even the offshore hardware can be made difficult to find and access, with the sort of layers one finds in Chinese boxes within boxes.

The seizure of the automobile, a nice little Mercedes, is also a wake up call for providers and agency management. Leasing works much better.

Not a dumb question at all.
I am, however, honestly 99.9% certain that neither Tampa LE nor the FBI could get the Canadian RCMP to seize a server in Canada containing the material that is in TBD or TER's server.
Canadians laugh at our sexual stupidity and inane priorities.

The danger is not so much to TER as it is to hobbyists and providers whose reviews I suppose are in the servers.

TER is doing nothing illegal, but the reviewers and reviewees
just may have had a few paid for organisms that are exquisitely detailed in those servers.

Never underestimate LE or the FBI.
First they sting the agency or provider, and seize their computers, phones,and servers.

Then they seize the review boards' servers for her reviews and any info on the reviewer that may lead to him, such as payment, CC, & Pay Pal records.

FBI can force the ISP to disclose whatever they have. Those credit card bills go somewhere and a camera/alert is easy to set up at a p o box place to ID the poor guy.

Meanwhile, Acronyms are fun and should never be taken seriously.
Every word, to a linguist, is an acronym of the larger English language words and their more extensive definitions,
