What is the name of your state? FL
This warrant is being served from US District Court in Peoria, IL.
My small business has been served with a search warrant for electronic information and records. There are two issues that I have with the warrant.
First, it looks like the FBI/US Marshals have little intention of actaully coming to our facility to inspect our computer systems for the information. Rather they are looking to us to provide the records they are seeking. Is it possible to seek reimbursement for costs associated with providing this information and otherwise complying with the warrant?
The second issue is that the warrant includes “bad” information that incorrectly identifies our company as the holder of specific “email servers.” It is public record that these servers are held, owned, and administered by another party. We simply don’t have them or access to them to provide the information that is needed. Should I contact the judge before I do anything else and let him know of the error? I did read several court rullings that indicated that the government was financially responsible for doing searches based on false information in the warrant.
Thanks,
James
