Suppose you withdraw $500/week from ATMs over the course of a year. Is that suspicious activity?
Well put.
A free program, ccleaner, can not only clear you browser history, but clear the space with 35 overwrites of ones and zeros...just saying
Yup. Three felonies a day like the book title says.
Nope. Not a high enough dollar amount to be considered anything near "suspicious" activity.
Banks are more concerned about withdrawls matching a pattern, and dollar amounts within a certain amount of $10k. Some banks are more "strict" than others about where that amount is as the Fed's don't give prescriptive guidance other than "$10k."
For the record, I think the law is stupid, and $10k isn't really that much money anymore. In 1970 dollars, it's more like $1,600. Drug dealers, etc.. launder money in far higher amounts than $10k and don't need banks to do it.
I use MRU-Blaster and CCleaner at the end of every day. You’d be amazed how much MRU-Blaster pulls out in a day.

Of course I realized. It is a very old joke.
I wonder what the founding fathers would be doing by now?

I believe you are correct sir. 😎
And there they got ya. Rand stated it best - they want to make so many things criminal that a person cannot go through one day without breaking a law.
Then those in power can choose whether to prosecute you or not,
based on various factors, including political loyalty.
You are one of the few [populationwise]that understands.
That's stupid. How many people are arrested and not tried or found not guilty of a crime in the US. With this you have an end around where you don't even have to nail someone with an initial crime. Just deleting browser history. If you don't think something like that could happen, see what the IRS, ATF and OSHA did someone who was trying to start a PAC.
Destroying evidence has been illegal for a long long time. I don’t even think it’s a new development to consider your browser history evidence. And yes they do have to have some reason to suspect you first, otherwise they’ve got no reason to think there’s evidence.
And I've been known to delete my browser history so my wife won't get the popups on her computer that tell her which gifts I'm looking at. Also being a Freeper, I investigate a lot of stories I read here and may go to some nefarious sites. If you put these two activities together I could to be guilty of a felony. With more and more people thinking like you we are close to embracing a police state.
No those facts don’t put you in line for a felony. It’s people thinking like you that make us look like paranoids with no grounding in reality. Evidence destruction laws are very well established with over 100 years of jurisprudence. This guy got in trouble specifically for deciding the evidence trail on his friends might go through his computer and deliberately destroying the evidence. Unless you’ve got some wrong doing you’re trying to hide there is NOTHING AT ALL illegal about clearing your history. This is known, understood, and documented, and trying to pretend like this case changed any of that is just making crap up.
And it's people like you who are totally blind to all the things the government and the judicial system are doing to take away our freedoms.
Again, over 100 years. The guy simply handled the situation incorrectly. If your friends blew something up and you think they might have looked up bomb stuff on your computer the absolute WRONG thing to do is clear your cash. Because once you decide to do that you ARE committing a crime (which has been a crime for a long time) and the only question left is whether you’ll get caught. Nobody is losing freedoms on this. And by grossly and deliberately mischaracterizing the situation you devalue complaints when they actually ARE taking away our freedoms. It’s a boy who cried wolf situation, this is not a wolf.
