"Probable Cause" Hearing Against MediaSentry

Posted by Soulskill on from the made-your-bed dept.

NewYorkCountryLawyer writes "RIAA sidekick MediaSentry's 'illegal investigation' problem, which surfaced the other day when it got caught in a lie in Michigan (or got caught telling the truth after having told 2 years worth of lies in Brooklyn), has taken another turn for the worse. We learned today from court papers filed in North Carolina, in one of the cases targeting NC State students in Raleigh, that the North Carolina Private Protective Services Board has scheduled a Grievance Committee hearing to determine whether there is probable cause to investigate an alleged violation of the law by SafeNet (formerly known as MediaSentry). Fortunately for MediaSentry, they won't have to testify under oath, according to the notice (PDF)."

    'illegal investigation' problem

    Now if we can fix/scrap the PATRIOT Act, which also supports "illegal investigations".

    Dealing with lawyers would be a lot less tedious if they all looked like Casey Novak.
