The FBI paid several Geek Squad employees to violate customer privacy by rooting through their computers, as revealed in a court case. The goal is to stop child porn, but the way the agency got there was through unconstitutional search and seizure.
Kim Horcher and John Rocha (Host -The CineFiles, Super Animation Gametime) break it down!

"Companies that carry out computer repairs are legally required to report such images, but a warrant is required for actively searching for material.
