A summary of the story can be found here. Now my point of view: it’s not difficult to know that I disagree completely with the authorities. In a political state with democratic values and laws it shouldn’t be possible to have the rights as authorities to operate the way they did. They ran in the door, confiscated some technical gear and accused innocent people of trying to commit a crime against… Yeah, against what? The human feature of being curious? Or the fact trying to understand and improving technologies? These arguments don’t sound reasonable to me. I’ll hope that the “everyone who is able to handle technology correctly and beyond the given borders (specifically computer science) is a potential criminal” cliché will come soon to its end.
