Librarian Refuses to Let FBI Take Computers
Three cheers for the little guy. In this case, Brandeis University library director Kathy Glick-Weil, who refused to turn over 30 computers to the FBI because they didn't have a warrant. And the mayor, who backed her up.
Federal Bureau of Investigation agents tried to seize 30 of the library's computers without a warrant, saying someone had used the library's Internet connection to send the threat to Brandeis.
After the refusal, the FBI did what they should have done in the first instance: they went to a judge and got a warrant.
