I shot him 15 times because I didnt have my extra magazines with me!
In the words of a genius...
I think we should all think a little bit about the kinds of things Google saves about us, or any other site...
I sure wouldn't want to be involved in a shooting and have them dredge up a post where I joked about something like "I shot him 52 times, because I had to reload"
I was looking through the news (which is full of death and murder) and you inevitably find quotes dredged up by the pseudo-intelligentsia (journalists) where they google someone's online history and find something they said that makes the person look creepy...
And you can believe the police do a thorough search too, in fact, Google and similar industry leaders have specific software they provide to police agencies, for just that purpose...
No kidding.

I recently dug around for some information on someone, and I know just about anything about the guy and his family, wife and daughter just bla bla bla on facebook, and it was an open profile. [Help] Holy smokes.
Would Google be able to do a search and return only incriminating results, or would they just return every post that we had ever written and let the prosecutors sift thru them. Would the defense have access to the complete post history, or just the ones the prosecutors want them to see?Quote:

I'll give the prosecutor the entire post histories on people I investigate but I'll highlight the ones that I think will help the case. The same goes for information that might clear the person as well. The prosecutor has to turn over the evidence to the defense attorney...no choice in the matter.Quote:
