Since they got the warrant and seized the company property. It means they likely got the customer lists. Which means they then can cross reference the list with their main suspects. Rendering the mass seizure useless as they could fairly easily pick out which boxes belonged to their suspects and which were random Joe Schmo citizens.
I’d even go as far as stating they likely knew going whose boxes were whose. IE criminal versus citizen. But decided to take everything to save themselves the trouble of sorting through it.
They also willingly admitted they violated their own warrant and seized the boxes which were specifically excluded from the scope of the warrant. Meaning any evidence of wrongdoing or illicit activity found inside is inadmissible in court
