Yes, we call that lying by omission.
They knew that information would result in the warrant not being granted, so they left it out.
- ikeboy 6mo agoI doubt that. The magistrate judge already granted an unconstitutional warrant, why assume the result would be different with more info?
- ceejayoz 6mo agoAs you are well aware, they kept important facts from the magistrate judge to obtain said warrant.
- pseudalopex 6mo agoThe affidavit did not support the post was a threat.[1] This was why FIRE said the information left out should not have mattered. Any reasonable competent person would have denied the warrant. But the information left out could have overcome incompetence possibly. This was why FIRE said it was important. A reasonable system would have required the investigator attached an unedited full screen image which included the post. And the magistrate attempted to view the post if possible to counter deceit. And required the magistrate had legal education. [1] https://www.fire.org/research-learn/complaint-bushart-v-perry-county https://www.fire.org/research-learn/complaint-bushart-v-perr...
