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."
Many Europeans think they can compare their tiny little isolated utopias with nations of a much, much different makeup.
I don't even know why I'm bothering arguing, the EU is finished and you'll all be out rioting a lot over the next 5 years. I for one will enjoy watching you smug assholes disintegrate, and you're deluded if you don't think it's happening already.
I'll get the popcorn...
