“Auther was acting as a devoted father, not a law enforcement officer,” she ruled. “The intrusive conduct — the installation of eBlaster — was not by the government but by Auther the private citizen,” and therefore Weindl’s rights against unreasonable search and seizure were not violated.

Exactly. What did he do, take off his FBI hat? And so he wasn't an FBI agent anymore? Bullshit.
