he was not directly involved.
Isn't that the point of the subpoena? To get information that will help them make that determination. Cops investigate people who turn out to be innocent and no charges are filed.
In his case, he wasn't charged with anything as far as I can tell.
- about_help 7y agoThe problem is that the "reason" was simply being associated with someone. We need to creste privacy laws, this assumption thst it is OK to go through someone's personal life merely for being in someone else's contact list is unethical. There should be compelling evidence, and after some short time period say > 5 years the person should be notified of the investigation.

- Kalium 7y agoFiling a subpoena to get information related to an active investigation is a reasonably common event. The requirement for and around the subpoena are the privacy laws. It's perhaps not reasonable to expect any legislature to pass privacy laws that block legitimate subpoenas that are part of an investigative process.
