Okay I got a few questions. Heres a little background on the situation
a year and a half ago my girlfriend had pressed charges against a person in which my girlfriend was talking with a state trooper detective she had decided that she was going to drop the charges so she went done to the police station. When the detective dropped her off back at the apartment, He asked if he could come in to our apartment she told him no and he continously started accusing us of having drugs stashed up in our apartment. At the time my girlfriend was 5-6 months pregnant. In which he started to make her very emotional saying that we our drug addicts and bad parents. So he made her cave in to letting him in our apartment. A little about the drug thing he had no probable cause to believe that either of us were on drugs or selling/growing them. Once in our apartment he looked around and seized our computer saying that is was part of a criminal investigation. Now during this year and a half the detective has made several threats saying that he was going to run me over and throw me over the gorge to my in-laws and to me. Then I just got a call from another detective the other day stating that they found stuff on my computer and wanted to talk to me about it. Now if anything ammounted from the seizure of the computer wouldnt it be emissable due to there was no search warrant obtained and the way he entered my apartment by intimidating and emotionally harassing my girlfriend into letting him in. Also, due to that multiple people used the computer if anything was found on it could they actually accuse one person of it and charge them on the only evidence that they have is a lab report of what was on the computer through ip address. I am clueless to what they found or what they want to talk to me about but I want to be acknowledged about the laws around this. So the main thing I want to know was the seizure of the computer done legally and if multiple people used the computer and no one confesses to what they found on it can they a! ctually just charge somebody |

You may want to file a complaint with the chief of the dept to make sure there is some oversight on this matter.
But it can be seized and evidence on the computer would have to be one part of other evidence if it cannot link to one person. |
