Best Buy’s Geek Squad and the FBI have been in bed together for years

EFF filed a lawsuit last year to learn more about the FBI’s use of Geek Squad employees to flag illegal material on computers they were hired to repair. Geek Squad techs received $500 to $1,000 for being informants. The FBI could bypass getting probable cause warrants, arguing in court that there were no Fourth Amendment violations because the Geek Squad conducted the searches searches customers had authorized. Documents show Geek Squad and FBI had been collaborating for at least 10 years. The EFF said the FBI shouldn’t be able to use Geek Squad to search customers devices and bypass their Fourth Amendment rights.”]
