Reply #4: "Hey, I've found stuff that looks bad!"

[krispos42]

"What stuff?"

"I can't tell you without a warrant"






"Judge, I need a warrant."

"On what basis?"

"Computer sez it found bad stuff, but it can't tell me without a warrant."

"Sounds like probable cause to me! Here ya go!"





"Okay, I have the warrant!"

"Oh great! Here it is..."




Apparantly, it's not a violation of the 4th because nobody in the government sees what's being looked at. But they can get a warrant based soley on stuff that software sees that it thinks looks bad. Oy, vey.


Um... how about anybody or anything analyzing communication without a warrant is illegal? Maybe we should just do that?
