I don't for a second believe the part about search warrants.
Judges often rubber stamp search warrants on the flimsiest of circumstances. There is no reason that won't happen here, especially since judges are humans and thus when you tell them you suspect someone of having child porn, most (but not all) will give you more leeway.
- InCityDreams 3y agoPerhaps the reasoning for obtaining any warrants should be admissable in court (if not already) on behalf of the defendent?
- multjoy 3y agoThat reasoning is usually subject to PII - Public Interest Immunity - exemptions, especially where it involves evidence obtained from sensitive techniques (wiretap, CHIS, other technical measures).

A warrant to search my apt was approved by a judge because I was suspected of credit card fraud. Their evidence? Packaging for a new external hard drive found in a recycle bin shared by 4 apts, that's it. No evidence of who put it there or how it was acquired, just a hard drive package.
- rich_sasha 3y agoI'm curious - if the memory isn't too painful - did the search leave much of a mess, and was there any "apology process" when, I assume, it turned out you weren't a criminal? Also, what's the locale? I sometimes worry about being a "victim" of a legitimate legal process, in which I did nothing wrong, and yet have to endure legally-mandated procedures.
- driverdan 3y agoThey took most of my computer hardware and did leave a bit of a mess but it wasn't too bad. I never said I wasn't guilty, I was. But the evidence they cited to get the warrant was shockingly slim. Had I not pled guilty I would have tried challenging it.
