Payed informants at Best Buy with The FBI? They find data in your computer for future investigations?

Setting aside the issue of whether the search of Rettenmaier's computer constituted an illegal search by private individuals acting as government agents, the FBI undertook a series of dishonest measures in hopes of building a case, according to James D. Riddet, Rettenmaier's San Clemente-based defense attorney. Riddet says agents conducted two additional searches of the computer without obtaining necessary warrants, lied to trick a federal magistrate judge into authorizing a search warrant, then tried to cover up their misdeeds by initially hiding records.

    Not really however once you lower the bar on this it would be problematic. It could be like having pictures of Trump's body with a broken neck hanging over a roasting fire or something silly like that that could be very incriminating!

    You know you can get in trouble leaving hangman's nooses already in the work place so free speech is not a argument for acquittal in some cases already.
