Posting on a publicly accesible website is the legal equivalent of standing on the street corner having a conversation. A police officer doesn't need to search anything because it's out in the open.
- sixothree 2y agoYes. But you cannot follow a person around indefinitely.
- CodeWriter23 2y agoThat's the thing about exigency, it is temporary.
- sixothree 2y agoThen the metaphor is broken. So find a new metaphor.
- CodeWriter23 2y agoNah, that’s a malfunction of your reading comprehension.
- ImJamal 2y agoMaybe as an individual you cannot, but I don't see why a group of people (cops) couldn't.
- potato3732842 2y agoA conversation is ephemeral unless someone specifically goes out of their way to record it. That is not true by default for just about anything involving a computer and we all know it. Where's the line between obtuse and lying?
- rabidonrails 2y agobut in this case (to keep with the comparison) the people having the conversation are recording it themselves and posting it publicly.
