Members condifentiality if subpeona'd
    #12539416 - 05/10/10 07:42 PM (14 years, 12 days ago)

A little background before I ask my question:

I work for a ISP working with IP for business, and I randomly get phone calls by law enforcement officials for release of the physical location information to certain IP addresses. Basically the process is, as it was explained to me: Law enforcement subpeona's the website for the IP address, then they call the ISP that provides the IP for that customer to get the physical address, then they get their bust on. It seems easy to get a subpeona for the address - the last call I got for address subpeona, the investigator told me that a minor that was a runaway logged into his myspace account, and they subpeona'd myspace for the last IP his account was logged in from.

My question is: If the shroomery were subpeona'd for a members IP address, would the site admins find some way to contact that member and let them know? I'm not sure how gag orders work, and if they are issued for this sort of incident, but would there be some attempt to bypass it through a loop hole to inform the member?

It never really dawned on me how easily police can obtain these subpeona's, and after I realized that I started to notice how many people on here flat out state that they are currently breaking a law, some in very major ways (Like the 'buying a house with drug money' post).

Answers? Idea's? Thoughts?

"Don't browse without a proxy" sounded like the moral of the story to me.  :shrug:
