Computers of Criminal Cyber-Thieves Seized : Greg Laden's Blog
Backup link for Laden's post is here.Thieves who broke into Unviersity of East Anglia computers in 2009, stealing thousands of private emails thus compromising years of expensive scientific research and causing a fabricated and unnecessary political doo-doo storm, as part of a much larger campaign of harassment, have had some of their computer equipment seized by UK authorities....
Tattersall later whinged on his own blog that "an Englishman's home is his castle ... [but] not when six detectives form the [Met] ... arrive on your doorstop..."
So, apparently it is OK for Tattersall and his band of thieves to unilaterally play vigilante and break into your computer or mine, but when authorities investigating a crime, with proper search warrant, show up to investigate his misdeeds, suddenly he's an "Englishman" in his "Castle." I don't know whether to laugh of to go medieval on him.
..We hope to see arrests over the next few weeks or months.

Check out James Annan in Comment#6:
"You utter moron. The police raid does not imply there is any evidence that any of these people were involved in the hacking."
Wonder if he tweeted Mann
