Proof from the warrant and justice.gov that the NYPD had access to Weiner's laptop (GreatAwakening)

submitted ago by youllrememberme

There was discussion in the comments of the last thread that still claimed it was a federal warrant so NYPD didn't have access to Weiner's laptop. This should prove that the warrant gave NYPD access and they were very involved with the investigation.

On page 1 of the warrant it says "In the Matter of the Search of... See Sttachment A"

Here is a picture of page 3 of the warrant (Attachment A), notice in part 2 (Review of ESI on the Subject Devices) it says "Law Enforcement Personnel (including, in addition to law enforcement officers AND agents...) This proves that it wasn't just federal "agents" who had access to his devices. Once they found child nudity they were forced to turn the case over to the feds to prosecute because it's a federal crime.

There's also more proof of NYPD involvement on justice.gov where Acting Manhattan U.S. Attorney Joon H. Kim praised and thanked the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Special Victims Division of the New York City Police Department for their outstanding work after Weiner's sentencing.

How could the NYPD SVU do a sexting investigation without access to these devices? Why would they get praised if they weren't involved? Why would they be granted access in the warrant if there was no intent to give it to them?

A couple quick corrections:

  1. Child nudity is not necessarily child pornography.
  2. Child pornography is typically handled at the local, county, and state level.

Maybe "forced" wasn't a great word chioce, but he was a federal employee.

It can still be handled by the local police. County and State police have specialists that deal with kiddy pr0n. The only reason it would be turned over to the feds isn't because he's a federal employee but because it was either done on federally owned equipment, using federally owned services, or done on federal work time. And even it did, it'd still probably be handled by the state's attorney's office.

Are you a lawyer?

HarveyKlinger ago

No. But I deal with this shit for about 1/3 of my job. I work with police, lawyers, etc. and had to go through an assload of training on it.

I was just curious. It sounded like you has experience. Thanks for pointing out my sloppiness

HarveyKlinger ago

Nah, it's just a bad habit of mine. The info was good.

That was a sloppy area though, you were right. I fixed it in the pizzagate x post.

It's all good, brother.

Great information. I believe you are accurate.

I probably should've went with "child porn, pay to play, SAP's and possibly snuff and cannibalism." The shit on that laptop would be a fed issue. It makes sense in my head, sorry for not being clear.
