I have personal experience with this. 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.
