Comment on The cops pay Anon a visit
LH0ezVT@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks agoCareful. There are levels to it, and from stories that I heard, those levels don’t always communicate with each other. If you get the regular “normal cops”, then no, they won’t know anything more than the average joe about computers.
If get in deep enough shit, you might get a visit from the specialised cops, either the state or federal variety, and those guys know what they are doing.

That’s definitely the case in the Netherlands. I wouldn’t trust the average cop to find the power button. But that doesn’t mean the specialized teams don’t have some really good ones.

And the guys who usually search houses know how to search houses, because they, well search houses regularly. They’ve had dozens of cases in the past that couldn’t be solved because someone has unplugged a pc too soon. They have regular trainings where they are updated on the newest developments. They have learned by now. We’re not living in 2005 anymore and neither do the cops.
