I studies Law and even worked for Law Enforcement. LA will never do something like that. Illegal obtained proofs can not eve be used in court + they can't break the law as they want. we are not even allowed to use hacking software/guess somebody password without a warrant. if we wanted to get somebodies account details we had to obtain a warrant. (for facebook , for google/yahoo it was more 1000 times more complicated, he had to  use an international mechanism - call our ministry to ask a prosecutor from US to call a judge from US to give us an order.).
