What’s a warrant?

A judge issues a warrant when there is an active criminal investigation. If there’s no investigation, no warrant.

Oh, that’s not how it works in the united States. Is this some commonwealth legal thing?

It is how it works inside the united states. It’s just they claim that because he was on the flight side of the airport, he wasn’t inside the US.

it is how it works

Thanks but I live here and it’s not basically ever.

Cops either use a pretense tools like a drug dog to establish probable cause for the search they want or do parallel construction after they’ve already built the general structure of a case, usually tracing things to a valid cause for search, usually via coached informant.

Or its ice and they can just do whatever they want.

You’re living in a fantasy world and your delusional ignorance is real danger is worrying. Please never approach or speak to me in person.

Did you stop reading at that point?

That’s not how it works. I’m not sure that’s how it’s ever worked. You’re living in a fantasy. Warrants are not a meaningfully real thing.

My point was that they fabricated a pretense to avoid needing one, just as you said. You’re making the same fucking point.

I’m about to cook lunch to avoid using the replicator. Then masturbate to avoid bothering my loving girlfriend.

So I’m completely on the outside of the debate you guys are having, but I’d like to but in and ask anyway

Please explain what you were trying to say with that comment because I’ve been staring at it for like 20 minutes trying to make sense and I’m so lost 😂 just str8 stunlocked and I’m really curious please translate pleeeeease :D

‘These are viable alternatives to the thing you’re insisting exists, on the assumption that the thing exists. Notably a thing that is a piece of SciFi tech from ‘star trek’ and something that obviously doesn’t exist as evidenced by my personality.’

The point being that warrants are equally a thing to the star trek stuff.

Still having difficulty connecting that to conversation you were having, im just dumb prolly, thanks for trying ✌️

I was saying ‘the cops aren’t avoiding anything. They’re just doing it the normal way that isn’t fantasy bullshit’ because warrants are basically unicorns over here except for parallel construction style cases.

Oh, because they are outside US borders they claim not to need a warrant, but that doesn’t stop them using US law to prosecute him though.

I think the supreme court has said they can search phones without warrants at the border and points of entry, so airports.

You can’t be compelled to give them your password, but you can be compelled to use your biometric ID. Clear as mud.

With GrapheneOS you can enable the setting that requires you to use biometric identification to get to the passcode screen, which means you’re always protected by both.

Assuming we lived in a rational world with a fair and impartial justice system

That’s like assuming unicorns will protect all that is good and sugar is effective weight loss

Well yeah. Hence the second half of that sentence.

well they have the “border search exception” so at the border, no, they generally do not need a warrant for “routine searches” of electronic devices. Fucked up, but that is the law on the books and US courts have virtually always upheld it when it comes up.

You’ll be surprised by what you don’t know.

Another day closer to Chiron.
