Not quite what I meant - no I don't think cops were writing SQLi but they learnt enough to laugh at Little Bobby Tables, just as they can learn enough to follow the money through 17 bank accounts.

This is the equivalent of is the FBI allowed to search my trash if the trash is in a trashcan on my property or on the sidewalk, being pulled by a street cleaner or knocked over by a fox. We can make it as complicated as we like but the law needs to draw some lines somewhere and stick to them.
