$5000 settlement TO a local political activist and $5000 of equipment TAKEN from local political activists two weeks later. Coincidence?
On September 14, 2004, the City of Santa Cruz agreed to pay off Robert Norse to drop his federal lawsuit against the SC Police Department:
SC Sentinel report
Two weeks and a day later, 16 Federal "agents" come to town to take away $5000 worth of radio and computer equipment from FRSC, equipment which, BTW, represented the previously mentioned activist's primary tool in his quest against the SC Police Department:

Coincidence? I think not.
As for the cost of the bust? I estimate about $10K:
| FRSC bust costs | ||||
| Quantity | Hours | Rate | ||
| Investigating agents (@ $80K/yr + benefits) | 1 | 40 | 57.69 | 2307.69 |
| Legal consultation (@$120K/yr + benefits) | 1 | 8 | 115.38 | 923.08 |
| Warrant execution agents | 14 | 8 | 57.69 | 6461.54 |
| Tire repair | 6 | 20 | 120.00 | |
| Tow truck service | 4 | 80 | 320.00 | |
| Total | 10132.31 |
