Also any warrant obtained from the chat logs would be worthless. Creep's lawyer could easily challenge legal "probable cause" given the circumstances. That means any evidence obtained (pics on phone, chat logs, etc) would be thrown out in court assuming a DA even tried to prosecute him.
Imagine if he had "those" kind of pics on his phone of him doing God know's what to some kid...now LEA can't do a damn thing about it and creep walks free.
100%. I think people underestimate the power of lawfare in cases involving average Joe Schmo's on the street. By now we are familiar with high-level lawfare, but regular people who enter "the system" encounter it all the time, and from both sides!
