A second degree acquaintance of mine in Germany had his house raided by police and all of his electronics (including his work laptop and phone) temporarily confiscated on suspicion of possession of child pornography because... ...an anonymous member of a child pornography forum used the handle "$NAME_$YEAR" and had his location set to $TOWN. The innocent bystander's middle name is $NAME and he was born in $TOWN in $YEAR but had not lived there for decades. He only learned about this absolutely nonsensical justification and got his stuff back by hiring a lawyer who requested access to the DA's investigation file. If you can get a judge to sign a warrant with flimsy non-evidence like this, what will they do when the robot says "95% match detected". This gives me pause... |
