My guess is there will be no charges filed. They will drag this out for a year until the world has forgot all about it, then just quietly drop it all.

- ethbr1 3y agoThe facts have yet to be determined. It's possible the paper did break some laws. The odds don't look good that they did (vs other motives), and even if they did the warrant and seizures were likely illegally extensive, but it's a possibility. Either we care about actual facts and laws, or we judge that on the basis of who the accused is. The correct action would be to: - Support the paper financially so they can fund a robust defense - Continue to press for an investigation into the original warrant and seizure
- causality0 3y agoThe worst that will happen is the police have to give some taxpayer money to the newspaper and maybe a couple of officers have to find jobs in the next county over.
