Yet another reason the FBI needs to be abolished and its personnel systematically investigated and prosecuted:
We’re here to recover the device you found on your vehicle. It’s federal property. It’s an expensive piece, and we need it right now. …
We’re going to make this much more difficult for you if you don’t cooperate. …
You don’t need to call your lawyer.
The victim probably should have gotten legal advice before relinquishing the device (evidence!), but given the pressure he was under it’s hard to blame him.
