It's not a strawman. How the fuck is an undercover cop supposed to function while not breaking any laws?
You keep bringing up 137 arrests. Do you think the FBI thought "Oh you know, we can get 137 arrests with this. Give or take a couple!" Or do you think they thought "Well with this we could potentially bring in a lot of criminals, and shut down more websites by information we get from search warrants we can obtain based on the arrests not to mention information given to us by them in plea bargains." How the fuck are they supposed to know exactly how many arrests they're going to get? Or how much information they're going to get?
Call me crazy, but I think police should be able to break the law within reason. I think this is absolutely within reason.
