We’ll put aside the material differences between the iPhone/Gawker case, for instance, the reporter having knowingly purchased an object the seller found on a bar stool. What forcing due process also does is create a paper trail. That’s how Gawker got the warrant rescinded. It’s also notable that these miscarriages are newsworthy. I understand the comfort of conspiracies, but in this case, the lie of a corrupt judiciary does more of a corrupt cop’s work than the system’s failings themselves.
