I’m one of the people saying “So what?”

If your search for “chloroform” is the only evidence against you then you’ll probably have a decent chance to beat the flimsy case.

If your search for “chloroform” is accompanied by the purchase of ingredients to make chloroform, posession of a bunch of rags that smell like choloroform, etc., then your chances look less rosy.

If somebody powerful enough wants to put a political dissident in jail (or worse), they’ll make it happen.
