Was the warrant excessively broad? I'd say!
What exactly is the point of the police seizing someones mice and display screens in a case like this other than to ensure that Mr Chen now has an even bigger bill to pay if he wants to get back to work any time soon?
- rbanffy 16y agoI had a mouse that had built-in memory. When plugged in, it looked like a mouse, a hub and a pendrive.
- noonespecial 16y agoI've had usb drives that looked like watches, cigarette lighters, flashlights, and even socks. My car has memory too. There are whole computers now that look like wall wart power supplies for other devices. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plug_computer http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plug_computer They should probably (just to be on the safe side) confiscate all personal property, even for the most limited of warrants, juuust in case it might have some flash in it somewhere. I'm trying to think of a reason to grab all of the money in their bank accounts too, in case there's some hidden code in the account numbers and quantities as well...
- johSho7w 16y agoI think a bigger question is whether the warrant would have been issued/executed against his home if he didn't work from home. Somehow I doubt the DA would have had the balls to raid Gawker's offices over this.
