Are you suggesting your personal computer is somehow immune to subpoenas?
- orangecat 17y agoYour personal computer is less likely to be compromised as part of a fishing expedition, like when the feds tried to get Google to turn over an entire week's worth of search history to help them defend of one of their "for the children" laws. I could easily see them demanding access to all Google Docs containing certain keywords.
- ErrantX 17y ago> I could easily see them demanding access to all Google Docs containing certain keywords. IANAL but I have experience in this rough area. That is pure scare mongering and I don't think there is even the remotest possibility they would get away with it. If they even tried Google would wrap them in counter-defence so fast it would be funny. Also, for the record, your search history may be criminally suggestive but it is not something they could use to actually prosecute you (this is something I do know about). They still need a subpeona on your personal machine :) Fishing is expensive; forces tend not to do it too much (despite what the politico's want to suggest otherwise). :)
