bulgaria again… rent-a-cop central.

the EU anti-corruption treaty must have not been noticed by the bulgarian ministry for internal affairs/justice.

But hey, at least they come and collect broken computerjunk for free :P

Wow.. epic fail lol
“SIR, we have taken into custody the copyright infringing malls”
“Great officer, what have you found on the computers?”
“We haven’t. They need spare parts to be fixed before we can work on them.”
“wtf?”

I didn’t know you could raid a place without a warrant in Bulgaria… Always good to know.

Great news!

Who cares about search warrants? I’m glad piracy has finally been put to death in Bulgaria! For 5TB on 2 busted computers, I’m sure the operation was worth every penny. Good work, officers!

Screw justice – that’ll teach ‘em!

ok you bunch of torentfreakz
@11 You cant really sue noone in bulgaria even the proven mafia guys
@18 I dont know from which “country of the first world” you come from but you know where you can go and in fact you’ve been reading somewhere for 3rd world countries doesn’t mean that every thing that is further then your nose is to be named by that.

It is not to be unknown that even know the most warez providers are the actual internet providers themselves. in this small city this guy was not fitting good with someone elses business (bigger i-net provider). This is not the first time that police hit some random inet provider but the point is its all selected in a really strange way in fact. For some years know the most known (even trough the cops as well as ive been called by some cops to download them games and movies via p2p networks) is zamunda dot net (closed for outside bg since 2 years) – noone hits them euronet is still one of the bigest inet providers they have TONZ of stuff “uploaded into the users folders” but actually some time ago they had whole catalogues with the warez on their surver and they were providing with accs for it. data.bg is also of the top 3 known websites also pared with a internet provider noone hits them too. As i said its really selective i dont really how do the cops think (probably not at all or at least in bulgaria) but there are lots of money being payed on black for “randomly finding some warez racks or selectively not knowing for other racks”

“Each PC had 2.5 terabytes of storage?
That seems like a lot for standard desktops”

No it is not a lot. Yoy can get a 2.5TB HD SATA for $120 these days.

If there was any proper justice in this world, you would be INSTA-FIRED for raiding something without a warrant.

What is the point of warrants if their are no repercussions for not having one?

You should be able to counter sue for mega mula.
