re: #289 Targetpractice, Worst of Both Worlds
Agreed. I’m not entirely sure how such law works across the pond, but any lawyer worth his salt here would argue that any evidence found as a result of this email release is “poison fruit,” found only as a result of an illegal release of private information. Anonymous just turned what might have been a boon into a bust.
I’m sorry but you’re wrong, that’s not how it works here. “Fruit of the Poisonous Tree” only applies to evidence gathered illegally by police, not independent third parties.
