And? It's called collecting evidence.
- wannacboatmovie 3y agoSearching for a Ron Burgundy meme is evidence of what, exactly? Or is it okay to inexplicably twist that into a crime somehow because it's used to persecute the "right" people in this instance?
- sjfjsjdjwvwvc 3y agoNot sure why the meme was included but the rest looks like gathering information in preparation for a crime to me. We are both not lawyers so we don’t know jack tbh
- wannacboatmovie 3y agoYou don't need to be a credentialed lawyer to know if something doesn't pass the bullshit test.
- shadowgovt 3y agoIn fact, what you just stated is the essence of trial by jury. ;)
- shadowgovt 3y agoIt's obviously not by itself a crime, but it could obviously be part of a fact pattern indicating intention to commit a crime. This aspect of law and criminality isn't new at all. "What, so a guy can't just meet his buddies at a nice Italian restaurant anymore?"
- yongjik 3y ago> Searching for a Ron Burgundy meme is evidence of what, exactly? Nice of you to ignore all other searches and focus on that one thing.
- add-sub-mul-div 3y agoYou've mixed up crime and evidence.
- pvg 3y agoIt can be supporting evidence for all sorts of things which are argued in court where this person's counsel also gets to challenge it. It's not like Jan 6th defendants were convicted because of their Anchorman fandom.
- jeffbee 3y agoThese searches are a footnote in the charging documents. This bozo was identified by eyewitnesses and appears in videos posted on Instagram of the riot, had air tickets from his home city to DC, had hotel reservations in DC, was carrying two phones each with logged-in location tracking accounts etc.
