If the FBI forensically analyzed your computer would they find incriminatory searches on the net?

  Aslt,

  True but they have to have sufficient cause to get a search warrant as in the Jarka case. You have a big issue with the bill of rights with reguards to illegal search and seizure, they generally are not given out frivolously. Any information gathered illegally and without your permission will wind up getting thrown out in a court of law.

  While being careful to not resist a duly constituted authority, one should never consent to a search for that will destroy your claim of illegal search and seizure later in a court of law.

  I think my emails are flagged by the govt. supercomputer all the time. Our hobbie is Arabian Horses and we always are talking Arabian stuff. Many of the horses have Arabian names.

  I google just about anything. I don't recall searching anything to do with death and killing. But it might depend on how someone died or disappeared or what happened that is a crime, then maybe something I searched could be construed as suspicious.

  I heard that the super computor they have filters everything on the net private emails everything. Here is a some info on it I seen the video on Nova but can't get it the whole video now but I found some smaller video clips:

  Three times the size of the CIA and far more secret, the NSA is comprised of top linguists, mathematicians, and technologists trained to decipher all kinds of communications—epitomizing the hidden world of high-tech, 21st-century surveillance. To show how this eavesdropping operates, NOVA follows the trail of just one typical e-mail sent from Asia to the U.S. Streaming as pulses of light into a fiber-optic cable, it travels across the Pacific Ocean, coming ashore in California, and finally reaching an AT&T facility in San Francisco, where the cable is split and the data sent to a secret NSA monitoring room on the floor below. This enables the NSA to intercept not only most Asian e-mail messages but also the entire U.S. internal Internet traffic.

  Thus, since 9/11, the agency has turned its giant ear inward to monitor the communications of ordinary Americans, many of whom are on the government's secret watch list, now more than half-a-million names long.

  I haven't committed any crimes, so nothing I might have searched could be tied to "state of mind" in the commission of a crime. I am with Undercover on this...

  Stealth,

  I don't think you need to be so paranoid about that, because if they started prosecuting people for Internet searches they would be having some very interesting cases that would open up a can of worms and really tie up the legal system and be very counterproductive,I'm sure a good portion of judges would automatically throw it out of court. Legally I see it as a night mare not only for our over crowded prison system but the public out cry would be very substantial seeing how we have very great privacy issues being violated by doing so.

  I think most law enforcement agencies see the problems that such things would bring out, maybe Barnie Fifes types might be prone to use Internet searches to do something like that but the Andy Taylors types would stop them.(joke)

  American Civil Liberties would also probably soon be chomping at the bit to get in the fray over that one.

  Isn't searching child pornography sites illegal? And haven't people gone to prison for it?

  One rocker said he was researching stuff for a book and the judge didn't believe him.

  frankiespeakin,

  Don't get me wrong, I am in no way paranoid about this issue. I was just trying to get some input on this topic to see how plausible Kelle Jarka's claims that his dead wife peformed those searches on HIS computer and they were completly innocent in nature.
