I utilze this and the good old message in a bottle method! Personally the tin cans and string seem to be the next big thing!

Like many have said, LE most likely needs to be on the recieving end of these messages with a passphrase to decrypt them. The only way I see this happening is if the person busted gives up the passphrase and LE has then been handed a big box of goodies. Then it's a free for all.

If they were to get into your emails any other way, then it is most likely illegal on their part and that evidence would likely be thrown out in court by the judge. Even criminals have their rights, dont forget that.

There was a bust in Frisco, TX early this year. The cops had warrants to search 3 storage units and they found lots of steroids and manufacturing gear. ALL evidence was thrown out in court because the warrants were deemed unlawful because there was not sufficient probable cause to warrant them.

Even though a warrant is granted by a judge, it doesnt always hold up in court. The detective could have lied about something on the warrant, then that comes out in court, then all bets are off.

In the Frisco case, the only warrant that held up was a warrant on his ex-wife's house. They found "short straws" in their trash in the alley that had what looked like was cocaine residue on them. So a warrant was issued and the search turned up cocaine and week in the house. Those charges against her are holding up. But the DA's case against him is dead in the water.

Yes, they can arrest you for nearly anything, even suspicion. But being arrested and being convicted are two greatly different animals. This is why its VERY important to know your rights and play your cards right after
the arrest. They can throw their case away on a simple technicality. Its not a walk in the park for them to convict you unless you freak out and confess instantly.

The majority of people on these forums think that being arrested is as good as being convicted. Your case wont likely even go to trial for 18 months after the arrest is made.

18 months..where did you get this....we have something called the bill of rights and the right to a speedy trial..now civil issues can take that long

[lincoln]

A speedy trial isnt always your friend. The longer a lawyer can stall your case the better your chance is of getting a plea deal for a MUCH lower charge. Also, lets say that they switch their prosecuting attorney's on your case, now that new attorney needs time to get up to speed on your case, and that leaves a window open for them to screw something up. Any DWI attorney will tell you this.

Look at R. Kelly, his statutory rape trial has taken 10 years to go to trial. The evidence is so old now that it makes it almost impossible for them to convict him. I would give him a 80% chance of getting off completely.

Some truth to that. I have seen a murder trial specifically drawn out so long that evidence got lost over the years resulting in guilty person walking or getting a slap on the wrist for murder!! Shit happens and things get misplaced over time.
