Actually, there are numerous examples of such things being used for other than their stated purpose. There is the claim that FISA warrants are to protect from terrorist attacks, but, then, they're used for tax collection or RICO issues or something that is nowhere at all related to "national security" but goes to an issue that amounts to petty larceny.
If they ran across other crimes in the course of their investigation, they'd be negligent to not follow up and prosecute. I'm talking about the authorities using the information for their own gain, such as stealing someone identity, or money from their bank, you know, CRIMES committed by authorities....
