I like that aspect, which is using the FBI's resources to help solve a problem. But, to me, it's fucked up that once you call the FBI, they take over, and often bring absurdly punitive charges with them. We saw this with Aaron Schwartz and Sergey Aleynikov.

The FBI loves it. They think their fingers ought to be in all the pies. Thus grows the State.
