Survey of HROT Attorneys

[Jimmy McGill]

What is your impression on DCI case so far? Am I the only one that thinks they are screwed? Is there a plausible legal defense for them that I"m missing?

I just feel like I must be missing something.

Unfortunately, not my speciality of law. I defer to you.

Yes, but you passed the bar exam. You have a general idea on what is right and wrong legally.

This is true.

Can our AG answer these questions?

I think they shit the bed but time will tell.

I’d love to know how they got from anonymized data to player names. Not much has been disclosed on that piece yet.

The emails themselves are so damaging.

 

[Jan Itor]

This is true.

Is it?

 

[GOHOX69]

Is it?

Sure is, buddy.

Without a warrant for the initial search, seems like everything is fruit of the poisonous tree. DCI has said their actions were blessed by the county attorneys. I’d like to see those communications.

There’s no way this sees the inside of a courtroom though. Bird allowed the UI football racial discrimination case to get settled swiftly and this is a much worse looking case for the state. One or two DCI agents will get let go as scapegoats and the state will pay a large settlement (hopefully it’s made public).

Online betting companies require register users to consent to share their location data with GeoComply. Given that, do these plaintiffs have a reasonable expectation of privacy in GeoComply's location data? If not, the Fourth Amendment protections, including the warrant clause, do not apply.

And, one step further, qualified immunity requires that there is clearly established pre-existing legal authority that law enforcement cannot tap into this data without probable cause and a warrant.

This is a huge hurdle for the plaintiffs. The raw location data is not private.

Those are good points. But I think the counter point is the selective enforcement of such a fishing expedition. UI and ISU but no UNI, Drake, etc. The plaintiffs could argue the agents had malicious intent, particularly when the one agent admitted no criminal activity was suspected.

The email from the DCI special agent is damning. It shows prejudice and ulterior motives for the investigation.
The state is going to take it in the ass on this one.
