In reply to the discussion: STOCK MARKET WATCH -- Monday, 20 May 2013 [View all]siligut
(12,272 posts)42. This doesn't make sense
I am not at all sure regarding this statement:
Barnes said the IRS search warrant only authorized the seizure of financial records related principally to a former employee of the company; it did not authorize any seizure of any health care or medical record of any persons, least of all third parties completely unrelated to the matter.
I tend to think Barnes has this wrong. It just doesn't make sense.
And this part is just WTF!
When the agents finished their raid, Barnes said they then used the John Doe Company facilities to relax, eat and watch sports on television. Adding insult to injury, after unlawfully seizing the records and searching their intimate parts, defendants decided to use John Doe Company's media system to watch basketball, ordering pizza and Coca-Cola, to take in part of the NCAA tournament, illustrating their complete disregard of the court's order and the Plaintiffs' Fourth Amendment rights, the suit said.
So the IRS agents hung around and used the facility for their NCAA party?
Something has gone awry with the IRS or somebody is full of shit.
