    Interestingly, just due to the inclination of the executive branch to “get a conviction” fast, at any cost, it’s actually pretty likely that is in fact “the wrong guy”. The investigators will be under pressure to find someone, and will use available technology in an absolutely, horrendously wrong way just to get a “result” and use that as a justification to accuse random unlucky people. Of course, anyone with deeper knowledge of involved technology would know that, but they’re not working for the ill educated LE operators.

    All something to consider when potentially ruining someone’s life because some dumb fuckers got an innocent joe as the wrong person because they deformed under pressure and couldn’t successfully do their job. Happens way too often
