That's definitely a better analogy. I still don't want cops at my door just because my number showed up on their caller ID.

- dtnewman 10y agoBut as a police officer, if you see something coming from an IP associated with me, it's probably wise to look into me further; even if IP address in and of itself may not be adequate evidence to justify a raid of my home. Similarly, if I saw your phone number associated with a bomb threat... yeah, I'd definitely have my suspicions and would want to look into you further, even if a phone number isn't definitive _proof_ of identity.
- the_watcher 10y agoLook into further is far, far different than using it as sole evidence for a raid. IP address coupled with additional evidence would be perfectly valid.
