CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Yes, that was also reported in the other article. It still leaves a lot of unanswered questions. Obviously there was some level of issue with it since cases where thrown out over it.

A computer tech who can only mange to get paid $12/hr probably isn't a computer tech worth hiring anyways.

Even at my current salary which is a couple times that, I'd sell out computer tech customers to the FBI for that kind of money.

Well, I'm just sure the FBI was totally on the up and up on this, eh? Just like in Parkland and especially like in sniffing after those FISA warrants. The bureaucracy is always the best thing for people......//////

Interestingly, the judge indicates a litany of incompetence here; from improperly characterizing the files as being illegal, improperly seizing the files as evidence, and even failing to establish that the deleted files found in "unallocated" space on the hard drive were even known to the defendant.
Perhaps the prosecution was inept, or maybe the prosecution thought the defendant would go for a plea bargain?

Law enforcement to include the FBI do not need a warrant to search anything. They can search anything they want as long as you agree.
Law enforcement ONLY need a warrant to "compel" you to allow them to search.
So, what law enforcement will routinely do is they will use pressure tactics combined with nice guy tactics and your ignorance to try to get you to say yes. And there is nothing illegal about that.

I think it is funny. If they want to pay someone $25 an hour to check up on me then go at it because they are going to get bored very quick and find out that I have NOTHING to hide from anyone. You hear stories that they can get into your microphone and your camera on any device that you have. The bad guys should be scared of big brother watching them. But the vast majority of law abiding citizens have nothing to worry about.

Why you think the police are going to help if that happens? If there is a problem with my debt card I call the bank tell them I did not authorize the purchase and they refund my money. Usually they pick it up sooner then me because they know my spending pattern.

You don't need to give people explicit permission to take information of your illegal activities to proper authorities and then have them use that to get a warrant.
If you invited me into your house to do some carpentry and I saw that you had most of the chemicals for a meth setup and a weird smell coming from the basement that would not constitute and illegal search if I would take that info to the police.
The problem here is that the local police department shouldn't be explicitly telling carpenters to do searches of peoples houses or paying them to spy on people.
