OT: Speed, was hoping for some help since you are the only lawyer I "know". I think you're probably in corporate law but think these might be rudimentary enough that you can answer.
Another company I'm in just had there offices searched under a search warrant. (LOL, anyone want stock picks from me?!?!) First, in order to obtain this warrant they had to have a judge sign off on, right? Do you know if this type of proceeding will be filed on Pacer?
Also, when searching, do they remove all files/computers from the office that they feel may be pertinent to the investigation or do they spend hours going through all files and only taking documents that are clearly relevant? Is it indicative of anything if they leave the office with materials?
Thanks in advance if you have time to respond.
