The Los Angeles area has at least two great chicken and waffle places called Roscoe's. I think one is in Pasadena and another is in Hollywood. I ate at the one in Hollywood and must say it was awesome even though it felt weird that the four of us in there were the only white folks there and the place was packed...at 2 in the morning even.

Hypothetical case:

 

Somebody has a CD with swiss bank account-data of 1500 US-citiziens and want to sell it for 1 mill bucks US authorities (IRS?)

The question is: Is US treasury authorities allowed to buy such stolen material and use it legal to investigate trespasses.???

 

There is a real, similar case in Germany at the moment.

Sure, under the banner of national security. They can also send the CIA to rendition to Bagram the poster who first mentioned it.

Seems like that should be illegal

I think that generally if police purchase information then that may make the information suspect but if it turns out to hold up then I don't think the fact that it was purchased makes it unusable in court. But then usually purchased information is on a small scale, like from a stoolie. I guess the cited case is really large scale stool pigeoning and maybe scale matters. Or not. If the guy trying to sell this info is still alive, I'm impressed.
