Who has authority to investigate the police department for this obvious corruption? Can anyone be held accountable?

Often the FBI will get involved when they hear about corruption.

Really goes to show you how wide interstate commerce clause goes.

I can’t vouch for it, but the article I read yesterday stated that the police department violated a federal law governing how law enforcement seizes information from journalists. If so, the feds could become involved.

Unfortunately probably no one, hence heavy vigilantism in the past which is starting to recur.

Basically go up the food chain. This corruption is probably more on the magistrate who signed the warrant than the police who served it, but that gets investigated by the state or the DOJ.

Everyone. These people are totally screwed. The state of Kansas will be racing to prosecute this before the feds get to it first.

The FBI, but they're too busy grooming mentally disabled people into fabricated terror plots, because real terrorism is far too rare to justify their inflated headcounts and budgets.
