Kopp, hereinafter referred to as your Affiant, having been sworn according to law, deposes and says: 1. Your Affiant has been a Special Agent with the FBI since August 2006. Prior to your Affiant’s employment with the FBI, your Affiant worked as a police officer for the Scottsdale Police Department in Scottsdale, Arizona for approximately six years. During that time, your Affiant received basic drug and gang training at the Arizona Law Enforcement Academy, and received advanced training and worked as a Gang Liaison Officer and as a Narcotics Trained Officer. As a Special Agent with the FBI your Affiant was previously assigned to the Cleveland Division, and to the Northern Ohio Law Enforcement Task Force, a multi-agency federal, state and local law enforcement drug task force, for four years. Your Affiant is currently assigned to the Newark Division, Atlantic City Resident Agency, and to the South Jersey Safe Streets Violent Incident and Gang (“Safe Streets”) Task Force, a multi-agency federal, state and local violent gang task force. While being trained as a Special Agent with the FBI, your Affiant received basic drug training at the FBI Academy, as well as Advanced Narcotic Investigation Training and Conspiracy Investigation Training provided by the Drug Enforcement Administration (“DEA”), and Money Laundering and Asset Forfeiture training provided by the Department of Justice. During your Affiant’s assignments with the FBI, he has been assigned to investigations involving drug trafficking offenses in the Northern District of Ohio and the District of New Jersey. 2. Your Affiant has written and executed federal and state search warrants which have resulted in the seizure of illegal drugs and evidence of drug violations. Your Affiant has written and executed seizure warrants which have resulted in the seizure of assets acquired with drug proceeds. Your Affiant has previously been the affiant of wiretap applications which led to the arrest and conviction of subjects for drug possession, distribution and money laundering, as well as seizures of illegal drugs, weapons, and assets involved in 3 drug trafficking. Your Affiant has supervised the activities of confidential sources who have provided information and assistance in the federal prosecution of drug offenders. Based upon the above training and experience, your Affiant is familiar with the modus operandi of persons involved in illicit distribution of controlled substances as well as terminology used by persons involved in the illicit distribution of controlled substances. Your Affiant is aware that persons involved in the illicit distribution of controlled substances routinely attempt to conceal their identities as well as the locations at which drug transactions occur. These people are also known to have vehicles, properties, utilities and other items purchased in the names of others in order to conceal the association of drug activities with financial transactions. Your Affiant knows that individuals engaged in organized drug distribution and sales maintain extensive contact with persons from whom they receive drugs and with whom they distribute these drugs. 3. Your Affiant has knowledge of the following facts based upon his own investigation and upon conversations with other individuals involved in this investigation. Your Affiant has not included all of the facts known to him in this Affidavit, just those facts which he believes necessary to establish probable cause. Where statements of others are set forth in this Affidavit, they are set forth in substance and in part. In addition, where amounts are set forth in this Affidavit, they are set forth as approximations. Similarly, dates and times are approximations, and should be read as on about, in about, or at about the date or time provided. BACKGROUND 4. Dirty Block / Crime Fam (“Dirty Block”) is a criminal street gang and Drug Trafficking Organization (“DTO”) that operates in and around Atlantic City, New Jersey. The gang was formed by residents of the Virginia Avenue Courts public housing complex and also used the name “V.A.C.” along with the name Dirty Block. After the housing complex was demolished, the gang’s members began to use 4 the names “Crime Fam,” “3.6,” (indicating Crime Fam1) and “3.6.6.12” (indicating “Crime Fam For Life”). The gang is currently comprised of surrounding Atlantic City neighborhood residents, specifically in the Stanley S. Holmes Village & Extension public housing project (“Stanley Holmes”), Schoolhouse Apartments, Carver Hall Apartments, and apartment complexes located on Adams Court and Cedar Court. Dirty Block graffiti can be found, and has been documented, throughout Dirty Block controlled neighborhoods and surrounding areas. Members and associates use Dirty Block hand signs, many have Dirty Block related tattoos, and make numerous videos that can be found on the internet claiming membership and association with Dirty Block. State and local law enforcement agencies including the Atlantic City Police Department (“ACPD”), Atlantic County Prosecutor’s Office (“ACPO”), New Jersey State Police, and the New Jersey Office of the Attorney General have documented the Dirty Block gang, members and associates, and have attributed to Dirty Block numerous criminal acts including drug trafficking, prostitution, weapons possession, aggravated assaults, robberies, shootings, and homicides. Federal, state and local law enforcement agencies met in late 2010, and throughout 2011, in an attempt to coordinate efforts to address the increasing number of felony crimes of violence associated with Dirty Block. These agencies determined that Dirty Block’s violence related incidents include crimes committed against other members and associates of Dirty Block, a rival neighborhood gang, rival neighborhood drug dealers, and witnesses in cases
