Google logs and law

Meet Lee Harbert, an investment banker from San Francisco. Now he has been sentenced to 3 years in prison, and the logs of queries to the Google search engine have become decisive evidence in his case.

Here is how it was. On January 11, 2005, Mr. Harbert rode his jaguar and shot down 55-year-old Gardipa Qaur. The victim of injuries died, and the driver stepped on the gas and sped off the scene.

Subsequently, Harbert argued that he thought he had shot down a deer, and in this case the law does not require a stop. Yes, and the police initially stated that the search for a burgundy jaguar, and not black like Mr. Lee Harbert.

It would seem that here it is - freedom. But the meticulous policemen found in the search logs on the computer of the suspect phrases like “buy spare parts”, “requirements of a message to the police about the damage to the car windows”, “car theft” and the main thing “hit-and-run” (shot down and disappeared). On the hit-and-run search, Lee went right on the news of the crime he committed.

These facts became the basis for proving guilt and now Lee Harbert will spend three years behind bars. From this we, in fact, started.

The moral of this story is this: if you have already beaten something, do not google the news about it.
