The computer of the household is requested to be searched as evidence according to the FBI. Is any of the aforementioned legal and to what extent? What are the consequences of the minor is to look forward to and what can possibly happen to the older man if there was no physical contact with the minor and nothing explicit on the computer if searched? |
My response:
Why are you wondering what will "happen to the older man if there was no physical contact with the minor and nothing explicit on the computer if searched?"
With the new "Homeland Security Act", the Feds don't need a search warrant for the suitcases and purse of the minor. The Constitution has been "placed on hold".
