-- Trei, Peter:
I'll concur that BU is overreaching himself.
Eric Murray
I read him as suggesting that some ambitious prosecutors might possibly try to extend spoliation to that point, not that they're doing so now.
I read him as saying the prospect of prosecutors extending spoilation to include any act that we do not carefully record for the benefit of those who wish to harm us, is so overwhelmingly likely that we should right now carefully keep all records of our sins so that we can hand them over to prosecutors in future -- that these methods, tactics, and technologies are foolish RIGHT NOW, and RIGHT NOW using such technologies and tactics displays a foolish ignorance of the law, and a pig headed refusal to take sage legal advice. Sandy compared the practice of purging old email (routine in most big pockets companies) to someone who jumps from a ten story building, and boasts he has not hit ground yet. That is obviously a reference to the situation NOW, not future repression. Similarly one of them, I think Aimee, advised TC May that he should faithfully keep records of his PAST ammo purchases, in case that ammo becomes illegal in future, or someone commits some bad act with that class of ammo. --digsig James A.
