Stolen iPad's Reported Location Not Enough To Warrant Search, Say Dutch Police
lbalbalba writes "A location message sent from a stolen iPad by an anti-theft application turns out to be insufficient evidence to issue a search warrant for the Dutch authorities. A Dutch man reported his iPad as stolen to the Dutch authorities last month. Despite the fact that the rightful owner was able to locate his iPad within hours of the theft, thanks to the anti-theft application he had installed, the Dutch authorities did not issue a warrant to perform a search. According to the prosecutors, a search warrant is 'a very heavy measure,' that should only be used when there is 'sufficient suspicion.' The theft report by the owner was viewed as 'no objective evidence' in the case."
Over a fucking iPad. Please faggot.
Real nice...your comments here were almost as offensive as the OP suggesting to use a gun to recover an iPad.
The US has a larger percentage of institutionally poor people due to our asshole forefathers thinking Slavery was just a grand idea, and due to our border with a third world country.
No, you have a large percentage of poor people because your country is run by the rich for the rich, more so than any other. And they've managed to persuade the gullible less well off that capitalism is good and social welfare is bad.
