    All the evidence you would need for a search warrant is someone openly saying they are manufacturing and actively seeking buyers. The suspect uploaded a picture of himself!

    I have no idea what you think the bar for a search warrant is, but it is easily met. It’s a search warrant. It’s not a criminal conviction. It’s just a search warrant. You seem to think a search warrant is some hugely elaborate thing that takes a smoking gun to get, and it’s not.

      Someone who exists maybe. If you get a warrant for a mysterious figure after providing a random IP Address, pictures of a school, and a stock photo, then you use that warrant to RAID the home of two unrelated older adults, guess what? Your ass is getting sued into the fucking ground, mate.

      I don’t get what you’re not understanding here. This hypothetical might be silly, but the results would be obvious.

        Are you serious? He literally exists and literally uploaded a photo of himself. He literally said he’s making drugs. And he was literally soliciting buyers. A “RAID”, you make it sound like a SWAT team descended and a tactical vehicle broke down the walls lol. It will be a few officers knocking on the door, presenting the search warrant and quickly going inside.

        Sued? Dude you get a search warrant from judge (the criteria of which are easily met), which means the search is legal. There was no excessive force mentioned. Tearing up the house is a common phrase to mean they are looking through everything and moving things around to look. Lol no one is getting sued because everything was legal.

        Sorry but this is comical that you think everyone is getting sued. Sorry but you have no idea what you’re talking about. Well I guess this is lemmy and it’s all ACAB and now all cops are sued all the time or something lol. I can’t explain it any better so I guess I’m out.

          If they had any fucking clue who that person was they would have gotten a warrant to raid his home. They used the IP address as evidence, they have no idea who OP is.
