Can we please not get distracted by police investigating criminal activity acting within the bounds of individualize specific suspicion of a crime and keep things concentrated on warrantless wiretapping and wholesale surveillance?
The question (probably unanswerable) that fascinates me is: Did the authorities find DPR by analyzing Tor network traffic, or by some other means? The Tor network being ineffective has wide-reaching ramifications.
I know the evidence has presented to make us think they found him via a series of mistakes, but the existence of parallel construction makes me question everything.
Why don't we deal with the widespread corruption and overreach of power on all levels, from blue-clad street thugs, through federal prosecutors who see nothing wrong with pre-trial asset forfeiture, all the way up to and including the military-surveillance complex?
