"Jordan allows the government to use the evidence gathered by the FBI in the case against Scarbrough over the objections of defense attorney Gregory P. Isaacs. Jordan used the “federal good-faith exception” to rescue the evidence. Under that exception, if federal agents believed they were acting under legal authority and did nothing illegal in their efforts to secure a warrant, the evidence can still be used.
“(Isaacs’) objections that officers acted deliberately, recklessly or with gross negligence and that it should have been apparent to law enforcement that the Virginia magistrate lacked authority to sign the warrant are simply unsupported by the record,” Jordan wrote." ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -ITG (ITechGeek) | [email protected] https://keybase.io/itechgeek | https://itg.nu/ Google Voice: +1-703-493-0128 / Twitter: ITechGeek / Facebook: http://fb.me/Jbwa.Net On Tue, Oct 25, 2016 at 11:18 PM, Mirimir <[email protected]> wrote: > > | Senior U.S. District Judge Leon Jordan ruled that the Federal > | Bureau of Investigation violated both the US Constitution and > | federal rules of criminal procedure when they hacked nearly > | 1,300 users who accessed the PlayPen child porn site. > > https://www.deepdotweb.com/2016/10/26/knoxville-federal-judge-rules-fbi-playpen-case/ > -- > tor-talk mailing list - [email protected] > To unsubscribe or change other settings go to > https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk -- tor-talk mailing list - [email protected] To unsubscribe or change other settings go to https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
