To say that the evidence was not properly stored and shipped would be a huge
understatement. It looks like the computers have been taken apart, dragged
through the mud, with no real attempt to reassemble them or clean things up.
Geeker is clearly not happy with how his property was handled, and he
encourages everyone to help him get the story out.
Please do me a favour everyone. tell everybody you know about this, blog
about it, tweet about it, facebook and myspace or wherever else you feel it
might do some good, let the whole bloody world know exactly what these evil
gits have done .and will probably keep on doing if something isn't done to
stop this kind of crap from happening and people and their property being
treated like this!," he said.
When FileSoup administrator Geeker had his home raided in the summer of
2009, police and the Federation Against Copyright Theft (FACT) literally
trashed his place. In a previous interview Geeker vividly recalled the
events.
"I got back home just before 8pm to find my belongings had been turned
upside down, the dining room was a like a whirlwind had gone
through..[]..they'd turfed out all the drawers of the desk, chucked back
what was of no interest to them, left a pile of paperwork scattered across
my desk and table with wires everywhere, talk about a nightmare!"
The police officers and 'agents' of the MPAA-funded FACT tagged everything
with a chip in it, and bagged them as evidence. In the following weeks some
items were returned, including a mobile phone, sat nav and video camera, but
most of the hardware was kept under lock and key.
As Geeker and fellow FileSoup administrator Snookered were released from all
charges by the Crown Prosecution Service last month, their belongings were
finally returned this week. This final step in the dreadful legal
proceedings should have been a day to celebrate, but the police once again
trashed the party.
From the looks of it the police and FACT did not return all of the seized
property, and the hardware that was given back appears to be completely
trashed.
