Can Federal Marshals really deputize state and local officers and retroactively seize their work product? Can these officers be involuntarily deputized?
It seems like simple theft of state records to me.
I'm not sure to what degree it was involuntary, but regardless, no, they don't stop being state records because the government handed him a title. I'm not a lawyer, but I'd be pretty shocked if the ACLU didn't win that one.
