Wouldn't it simply be better if police officers were trained to avoid harming the people they interact with. In that training, maybe learn a thing or two about people who communicate differently.
Some of the reporting around the search mentioned that someone, Project Veritas, perhaps? was negotiating for the purchase of the stolen goods (the diary).
Look at the fancy word construction from PV around the issue, and notice they speak of a “copy” of the diary (yet mention the diary was turned over to law enforcement, so not a copy). They talk about someone negotiating with someone. Who? the thieves? someone they offered money to a prior? We don’t know, but we sure can’t presume to know what investigators took to the court to support their request for a search warrant.
I value protection of the fourth estate, but I don’t start from a position of assuming the worst when I know that law enforcement had to first approach a court to get permission to execute a search. Has anyone reviewed the sworn affidavit from the FBI Special Agent to see the nature of the evidence available to support the claim that there might be a basis for conducting a search?
Well, let’s see, what causes of action come to mind in under two minutes? Defamation, libel and/or slander, anticompetitive practices by a dominant player. To get their hands on a device, maybe someone offered an inducement to someone to violate a contractual agreement in service of running a competitor out of business.
I’m looking forward to reading Kytch’s complaint and the court ruling.
