Judge doesn't #trust #DOJ with search of devices seized from Wash. Post #reporter

A federal court will conduct a search of devices seized from a #WashingtonPost reporter after a #magistrate judge decided yesterday that the Department of Justice cannot be trusted to perform the #search on its own.

This now appears every time I look at #crime news on the local #Newsquest sites. It does not appear for other articles.

Both original ad and this reminder got past my adblockers, suggesting they are being served directly from Newsquest servers.

One one level it makes sense targeting folk with an interest in criminology, but it also seems a bit worrying as its also going to attract those with more time on their hands who might be way more paranoid and angry about crime than I am (I've lived in far worse places than #Ipswich over the years!), and looking for a way of turning that into power over others (which a #magistrate obviously has)
