How do you know what their stories were? Have you spoken with them or seen any police reports? I've only seen badly-sourced news articles, so there's no real way for me to even guess if these women (or their statements) are being portrayed accurately.
Apparently, I screwed up my code. /sadface Here is my post, again.
As for your freenet argument,remember: The data goes somewhere. Actively connecting to a freenet node would be a good indication of someone trading files (or receiving them).
A 'good indication' isn't enough for a conviction, or even a charge. If it were, all of the street corner drug dealers and sex workers would be behind bars.

Apparently, one of them is, in fact, a feminist, but your comment is still chauvinist.
Unless you regularly mention describe people with adjectives that have nothing to do with the topic, such as 'a gay Congressional official', 'pizza-loving Pat Robertson', or 'Jesus Martinez, detective novel connoisseur'?
Only an enraged feminist in Sweden knows for sure . . .
Yes, because a woman who is either:
a. a victim of sexual assault, or
b. a spurned lover
must be a feminist. I mean, of course, she is, because a non-feminist wouldn't refused a man, or claimed to ave refused a man. Only feminists can do that. Of course.
The seizures necessarily imply that there is an underlying crime alleged.
Regardless of what they allege, I do not believe that this seizure should have occurred until after a trial, or at least until actual charges have been brought.
In addition, I don't believe that copyright infringement should carry a criminal charge.
Yes and no. It's true that you used to have to have intent to break the law before you could be prosecuted, but we've largely dumped that. If you show up at the airport with no ID, share a few files, tape record a police officer in Illinois, and so on, you can be arrested and prosecuted, even without any intent to break the law.
Anyway, back on topic, if I'm writing about piracy on my blog, and I link to a pirate site, I should not be considered an accomplice. I believe that's too far from the intent of the law - which was to prosecute actual accomplices working in concert with a criminal.
If someone can record any police interview anywhere, then the police cannot keep anything confidential, and their work requires confidentiality in many cases.
There was no police interview. There were only her protests that there should be an interview.
Regardless, I firmly believe that we should be able to record any interactions we have with LEOs. If two Illinois LEOs need to have a private conference about a confidential matter, they can do it behind a closed door, like LEOs do in other states.
Sadly, this could shield some abusers.
An abuser is being shielded now, so what's the difference?
I'm still trying to figure out why his attitude mattered. Is it alright to arrest someone for being a jerk nowadays or what? I'm reasonably sure that we haven't legislated politeness into law...

Everyone fails to see that, because no one said it.

Except she doesn't, because citizens clearly have the right to tape officers on duty.
