40+ Officers & ATF Agents Raid Home of FPSRussia

[FB Si]

Hmmmmm....lets see..... BATFE and many other agencies raid fps' house and his dads farm. They didn't confiscate a darn thing, and made no arrests. Wonder how much that effort cost taxpayers ?

I personally think the whole explosives search was a cover related to the murder of his business partner = fishing expedition.

The agents made the same amount of money as they would have spending the same amount of time anywhere else.

And btw, I love FPSRussia's productions, but you have to know that when you go blowing up that much stuff...you may get some attention.

Honestly I hope he gets the explosives license, so we see better stuff down the road.

Shooting fire extinguishers (or any other compressed cylinders) will also attract some attention by law enforcement. DirtDiver99 you are correct about the amount agents needed for this search. When LEO's search a place that they expect to encounter explosives, they will have bomb techs and bomb detection units on scene in addition to the other personnel that you mentioned. It is funny reading the assumptions that members are making about the investigation/searches when they have no experience with these incidents.

Yeah. Just a check. 40 agents? If anyone believes that they weren't trying to see how many weapons he possesses in his home (and hoping to find something illegal) then I have some property to sell ya. They used the tannerite as an excuse.

there's no regulation about using tannerite

You can't have more than 40lbs in one blast. If you do, you have to have a license. They were more worried about him detonating it on camera and making money from it. This also requires a license. It's still BS, in the future I bet he gets the license and we get to see some bigger booms on camera.

not when you factor in things like gas, time/money lost doing something worth while, and any damage that occurred to the property in the search

this cost us more than their base salary
