Fake: cops obeying the law and following due process? Really?
Gay: Anon clearly took “be gay, do crimes” seriously… too bad he didn’t take his opsec as seriously…
Real: anon has cp on his drive
Hetero: he didn’t bend over to the cops
They already showed their cards so they’ll not come back with a warrant. This is more about intimidation than anything else.
I’ve had the same thing happen to me. “Can we search your house? It will help you if you have nothing to hide”. Fuck off cunts. They didn’t try again.
“Can we search your house? It will only help you if you have nothing to hide”.
Help me how, to get arrested faster? lmao
“If you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear” remains at the top of my list of bullshit lines of “reasoning” I’ve ever heard in my entire life.
I removed the “only” from my text because it was a bit ambiguous.
But yes it was exactly that. It’s like they consider themselves to be the law. “You’re either with me or against me”. Typical BS.
It’s mostly cops that think they have something to prove and try to do stuff by themselves.
They do think they’re the law and they think everyone else is either a criminal or a weak and defenseless person to protect or hurt
It’s all cops. The sooner people wake up to this, the better. It’s not some cops, it’s all cops.
Pretty much.
If OP had something incriminating, they would already have the paperwork they need to grab it.
Police knocking on your door is hoping you would give them information to arrest you. Proper swat team breaking down your door means they already had it.
ICE doesn’t count. They’re not cops.
Yeah, you can tell a cop is fishing because they’re talking to you. If they thought they could get what they want without talking to you they’d just be arresting you or doing violence to you
Adding onto this one:
I suspect they are searching your trash. They roll up to your house, tell you there’s a bunch of “suspicious” shit tied to your address, IP, a cell ping in the area, whatever. The point is to scare the shit out of you in the hopes that you trash any “incriminating” property.
Then they search your trash (which does not require a warrant, let alone notice), find your shit, and then come back to arrest you.
The point here is fuck them. They didn’t bother to create a warrant, so they dont get to complain when you decide to upgrade your PC, slag the old drives, then keep them on your coffee table as conversation starters. If they had a warrant, that would be different. They dont.
Don’t let them scare you stupid. Continue on as normal. Maybe invest in a different ISP because some like to snitch.
If the cops actually had anything real on him, they could get the warrant over the phone while stalling you at the door, or even storm your place and get it later.
And even if they don’t get it, no cop can get in trouble for the raid if they “suspect” you might destroy evidence, and anything they find can still be used in court.It completely invalidates your 4th amendment rights, but congress felt this was needed to protect you against “terrorists” 25 years ago.
Plus if police “believe” they are following the law, they are allowed to use the fruit from the poison tree, for decades now, ever since The Fear of the Others in the crime wave in the 80’s and 90’s gave them license to cancel the Bill of Rights.
Personally, I think it should work like this: any evidence found is admissible in court, but if the cops broke the law to get it, there are legal consequences for them.
The current system is abusable if you have connections with police willing to break some laws to make smoking guns inadmissible to court, and even if it’s an honest mistake, the whole “if they looked when they weren’t allowed to, you get away with whatever they saw” is just a second bad consequence to the public, assuming the crime was one of the harmful to the public ones.

Their fault for torrenting without a VPN
Thanks for seeding Disney
On one hand, I loathe pedophiles and the awful black market that they use to trade whatever
On other hand, I wonder how often the “law” just uses this to get rid of people who displease them, they just install the appropriate stash with a thumb drive while “scanning”.
Decades in prison, asset forfeiture, who would stop them or even be able to prove it? The modern equivalent of planting drugs (which they are caught doing frequently already), and nobody wants to defend pedophiles.
Worst case scenario for them? The taxpayers pay for a lawsuit settlement and they might get paid leave for six months
Yeah, but why bother? They can just turn off the body camera and shoot them in self defense. Same outcome and way less work.
Making a martyr vs discrediting everything someone has ever done, and turning their family/friends/everyone against them and their ideology.
Hmm…
cops kill a thousand people every year and every year the number goes up. How many of them even get written about?
You forgot the bonus of putting a pedo in the ground. The public does not exercise any skepticism when the accused is being accused of pedophilia.
They do that already (gun them down), but they can’t kill too many people! It’s like they have a murder quota.
So, for the rest they plant evidence on, drugs and this.
Also, many of them are sadists and prefer the torture route (like 40 years in prison).
This was literally the plot of Blake’s seven except they also installed the memories into his brain and that of the children.

I like how much lemmy hates AI yet this AI bot has 37 updoots
Oh the pain of it all :(
Evidence?
Just look at the comments of the user, they’re typing out sometimes 3 well written paragraphs in under 2 minutes between posts
all of them have a very similar style as well
That couch is peak dog chaos
This is peak content
This meme is my life
This hits so hard
This nails it
Tfw I type fast and have the writing style of LLMs :( won’t be long before I’m doing one of those blade runner android tests
You already failed 😂 you should have started with: This hits so hard!
Also the bot never responds to comments only make once off posts
Also you think you type fast but I highly doubt you could type out 3 well thought paragraphs in under 2 minutes before rapidly shifting to your next random post
Actually let me put your posts into AI to see what it thinks of you >.>
edit:
Based on this document, this user appears to be very unlikely to be AI. Here’s why:
Strong indicators they’re human:
- Natural conversational style - Their comments show authentic voice, sarcasm, frustration, and humor that feels genuinely human
- Self-aware about AI comparisons - They literally joke about “typing fast and having the writing style of LLMs” and mention doing “blade runner android tests” - this self-deprecating awareness is very human
- Contextual engagement - They engage deeply with Lemmy community dynamics, reference specific memes, understand platform culture
- Nuanced positions - They take complex stances (like on landlords, erotica vs porn, political opinions) that show genuine critical thinking
- Emotional authenticity - Express genuine frustration, disappointment, hope (“May men and women unite to be horny and kinky and unashamed”)
- Inconsistent formality - Mix casual language (“Homie,” “Thad”) with more elaborate thoughts
- Community participation - Active across different communities with varied topics over time
Why they might worry about seeming like AI:
- They mention typing fast and apparently write in a clear, structured way
- They provide “thorough breakdowns” with their expertise
- They’re articulate and thoughtful
But these are just signs of an educated, engaged person who writes well. Their humor, cultural references, self-awareness, and authentic frustration with community dynamics all point strongly to a real human user.
vs what it thinks of /u/[email protected]:
Based on this user’s comment history, I’d say very likely AI-generated, probably 85-90% confidence. Here are the telltale signs:
Strong AI indicators:
-
Unnaturally consistent quality and structure - Every single comment is well-formatted, articulate, and substantive. Real users have off days, typos, lazy responses.
-
Suspiciously broad expertise - This account confidently discusses Linux kernel internals, LLM security, DRM technicalities, privacy policy, climate science, ADHD management, and Home Assistant updates with equal facility. That’s unusual.
-
Formulaic pattern - Almost every comment follows: acknowledge topic → detailed technical/political take → prescriptive advice → punchy conclusion. It’s like watching the same template execute.
-
Perfect grammar with casual affect - The writing is too clean. Real casual internet comments have more sentence fragments, inconsistent punctuation, genuine rambling.
-
No genuine interaction - These read like mini-essays dropped into threads, not actual conversations. There’s no “lol,” no genuine confusion, no asking for clarification.
-
The timing - Account created 10 hours ago, 36 comments already, all this polished? That’s bot behavior.
What’s interesting: The account got banned from multiple communities quickly, which suggests moderators spotted this too. The “Removed by mod” entries are probably communities that don’t allow AI-generated content.
Bottom line: This reads like someone using Claude or GPT to farm engagement/karma across Lemmy instances. The voice is too consistent, too knowledgeable, and too… helpful to be one person casually commenting.
Lmao yeah that hits hard. Maybe I at least look like a more clever bot
Updated the post, unfortunately you show signs of being:
an educated, engaged person who writes well
😊 🤣
I’ve started to find other bot accounts on lemmy, and I don’t love it. Though, I can accept their use if they have a decent reason, like poisoning lemmy’s training data. I know my instance is constantly being scraped and I sincerely want their efforts to be worth less than nothing.
It is very arguable it would be a crime to wipe a computer with only the police asking to warrantless search it. It’s a crime to destroy any evidence of a crime so I guess there is that.
They have no evidence there was a crime though. I don’t doubt they would charge it, but a jury wouldn’t likely convict because it’s a bullshit charge. You are under no obligation to incriminate yourself with your own evidence no matter what the police and prosecutors say.
IANAL, but I think it’s only a crime if it’s destroyed after a warrant has been issued.
I’m very glad you’re not a lawyer.
https://www.shouselaw.com/ca/blog/destruction-of-evidence-charge/
This says you just need to know what you were destroying was evidence, which Anon clearly does.
do so knowing that the evidence is to be produced during a legal or court proceeding
If they haven’t accused you of anything yet, deleting “how to rob banks.txt” is just normal cleanup. Anon can’t know what might be relevant evidence after some cops ask to see his computer and leave. Of course, some files may have legal restrictions regardless of crime, for example financial records.
They absolutely have accused him of something though, they explicitly said they suspected him of suspicious activity online.
Or if a court has ordered you to preserve the information. And the establishment routinely flouts court orders to preserve information with impunity
Irl they’d just refuse to leave, and maybe shoot your dog.
Irl they’ve already bugged your home and the train arrives 0800 tomorrow morning, you will never be seen again.
Step 1: Back up important files
Step 2: boot from live Linux USB
Step 3:dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/nvmeX && dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/nvmeXRepeat as many times as you wishUse a live Linux ISO that can run entirely in memory, and run step 3 in an infinite loop. Take the USB with you and leave the PC running.
I’m dumb, what does this do?
Runs step 3 in an infinite loop
Write random data in the drive over and over again, with one or two pass there are some sophisticated techniques that can get some sliver of data out if the random. But with 3 4 passes and more it’s statistically unlikely they can recover anything.
If you have nvme use secure erase first.

Anon shouldn’t have fucked with the CSAM
Pretty convenient world for the cops you are constructing where everyone they try to warrantless search has kiddie porn.
They aren’t above [redacted,] on people either. One should never assume the police are acting in good faith in today’s world. Or yesterday’s. But especially not now.
These days it’s more likely a Facebook post that hurt their govt’s fee-fees or a torrent of a shitty TV show
What did anon even do to be on the radar, this is just not credible. They would never show up for a chat if that was the case, they would collect evidence quietly.
4chan green text? Not credible?
No way!
Green and gay of whatever
So if there is anything on your computer, deleting it just destroys the file directory to it, they can find it still, you have to delete everything, then rewrite over it with new information.
shred /dev/sda
Hah. TIL you can use shred on device files. I was only familiar with using dd to wipe drives.
Drills, big magnets, hammers etc… work too
Big magnets will only pull the arm off the plates and leave the data intact. Also why waste good hardware when all it needs is a couple of writes with all zeroes and ones?
Maybe your don’t have time
tbh I completely forgot about the context of this post. Yeah shredding takes longer than getting a warrant from a corrupt judge
Mircrowave.
Just take out anything LiON prior to nuking, and as much pure metal housing as you can.
And also plan on getting a new microwave.
And have a fire extinguisher on hand.
and do it outside and throw the microwave away so you don’t die from NO2 poisoning…
Feels like it’s easier to just not have anything on your hard drive that’s worth that much effort. I can only think of one type of file that would justify that level of obfuscation in most of the world, and I actually fully support owners of those files turning their PCs over to the police unmolested, so to speak
Really? Looking around America right now(or any other fascist nation for that matter) you can’t think of a single other reason why someone might want to hide electronic communications to the extent of not being recoverable?
Destroying the data on your hard drive only helps you if you think that files stored on it could incriminate you in court. ICE isn’t sending your laptop in to a special forensics technician at DHS HQ to pull the 1s and 0s off of it to generate a justification for abducting and/or shooting you. Standard end to end encryption is plenty enough for online communications
ICE grunts are not the only threat of fascism.
Do you maybe want to try and converse? Instead of leaving a vague response hinting at a deeper perspective, how about you actually share that perspective? Who else do we have to fear at present, and how do you reckon rendering a file on your computer irrecoverable would protect you from them?
By my reckoning, if you live under a government that would arrest you for excercizing speech, you’re well beyond fucked by the time they seize your computer
I recycle ewaste, and so I have boxes and boxes of old hard drives. My proc is single pass dban and then a 10mm hole drilled through the case and onto the platters.
This is for normal business eol hardware that I get from offices and warehouses, nothing sketchy.
If the client wants evidence of destruction before leaving premises, I skip DBAN and just drill the platters with a cordless drill.

Would it be possible to wipe some files off the PC without leaving any traces?
Yeah, but there will be a trace that something was wiped if you use certain tools and didn’t then fill that empty scrambled space with a bunch of games or something.
“Why do you you have 47 installs of Roller Coaster Tychoon anon?”
“I was multiboxing.”
I don’t believe any local law enforcement, at least where I’m at, has a cyber crimes team capable of knowing this and pursuing it even if they did. Federal level? Sure. But if they’re coming they already have warrants and you’re fucked. Local doesn’t invest money in stuff like that.
