Did you read the article Todd?
And I quote:
"Simply highlighting suggestive phrases isn’t enough, of course."
If someone starts talking about Jihad, you can't charge them with a crime, but they're probably the person you want to look into when it comes to investigating terrorism. It's the same vein.
Why would you expect prosecutors to look blindly?
- Todd 11y agoYes, I did read the article. You make a valid point. The context is important. My point was that they are suggesting that these phrases are indicators of guilt. It doesn't take much of a stretch of the imagination to see how this can be applied across all communications channels, and used as indicators of intent, such that they are eventually used prior to having a warrant and, indeed, used as sufficient "evidence" to secure a warrant. These types of things help establish precedents. Once their utility is demonstrated, and tools developed to make the technique more effective, they will begin to be deployed elsewhere.
