What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Maryland
During a recent warrant a number of computers were seized from a residence including two business computers. These computers are fully owned by the business and contain the only copies of irreplaceable intellectual property that belongs to the business. When informed that the two computers were used exclusively for the company the officer in charge simply shrugged and said “Oh well.” By doing this the police have essentially shut down the business and they will not give me a time frame for the computers return.
What is most frustrating is that while they took the business computers they left another computer in the house belonging to another resident.
I have written the Mayor as a small business owner to see if the mayor’s office could give me more information, but to no avail. I have hired an attorney, but this is not really his area of expertise.
What course of action can I take to have my business’ computer hardware and intellectual property returned as soon as possible? Quite frankly I’m losing a lot of valuable time and money and the police are not returning my daily phone calls.
Thank you and have a great day.
