Police Return Seized Hardware to Victorious BitTorrent Admin, Trashed

It's no secret that I dislike the police. I've seen them do and heard about them doing far too much bullshit to ever consider the majority of them anything more than power hungry, stupid, rude, assholes.

Bullshit like, say, this...

Last month the second case against a UK-based BitTorrent site came to an end. Two administrators of FileSoup – the longest standing BitTorrent community – had their case dropped by the authorities and were free men once again. This week, personal belongings that were seized during the house raids were released and returned, but what should have been a celebration turned out to be a great disappointment.

The police seized computers and other property but after the charges against the owners of the property was dropped, it was returned in horrible condition.

Spread this around as much as you can, things like this need as much public exposure as possible.
