How an obscure rule lets law enforcement search any computer

in #pizzagate8 years ago

Be safe everyone looking into Pizzagate. They can go five deep. If they have a warrant for 1 person then any person they contacted and any person they contacted and so on 5 deep can be hacked. I know all the pics were on instagram and were public. Also the NSA has a way to break into ToR once malware is downloaded.

"At the same time, a senior US District Court judge ruled the FBI did not need a warrant at all to infiltrate a stateside computer, saying, "Generally, one has no reasonable expectation of privacy in an IP address when using the internet."

"With today's amendments to Rule 41, the statute that regulates legal search and seizure, the US Department of Justice has a new weapon to fight cyber crime -- but it's a double-edged sword. The changes expand the FBI's ability to search multiple computers, phones and other devices across the country, and even overseas, on a single warrant. In an increasingly connected world, amending the rules is both necessary for law enforcement agencies and deeply concerning for digital privacy advocates. And for everyday citizens, it's a little bit of both."

So if we don't have any expectation of privacy given a particular IP address, do they not have the same expectation as well?
