I think that given the revelations of parallel reconstruction in general, the burden should be on the prosecution to prove that the NSA et al. were not involved. An illegal search/seizure could very well have been what gave the FBI the idea to find the IP address in this way.
Given that the NSA is able to collect most internet traffic, and they've been sharing info with other agencies, I would think that most evidence against any defendant could be thrown out. Yes, that would be ludicrous, and that's exactly why the NSA needs to be reformed.
- RachelF 12y agoThe hard thing with parallel constructed evidence is to prove that this is how it is done. I doubt whether a judge will throw out evidence unless you can prove that it is a parallel construction, and that this was illegal.
- hahainternet 12y ago> the burden should be on the prosecution to prove that the NSA et al. were not involved You can't prove a negative.
- spacemanmatt 12y agoThey should be obligated to testify to the truth under oath. It's not proof but gets their position into court records.
