I hope a lawyer reads this.
Any case that involved information gained via phone records or Email should be challenged. If the evidence came from NSA data then the case should be thrown out. In fact after the NSA has said this then it would appear to me that a LEO must prove that that the data did NOT come an NSA source.
Abolish this agency. Burn the records
A couple of years ago, a co-worker and I were discussing the film “The Lives of Others.” I posited that if we were not careful, we would end up that way. He literally laughed at me. He has retired since then, but if I run into him, you can rest assured I will remind him of this. By the way, he is a conservative.
“I hope a lawyer reads this.”
You assume they will always have trials?
