Questions that need to be asked at the Franks Hearing

[admin]

Was the affiant trained in internet investigations or digital identity verification?

My response to the question:

The affiant, who had only one year of experience as a police officer and no documented training in internet investigations or digital identity verification, was not qualified to interpret or present digital evidence. The affidavit contains assertions about online behavior and identity that require specialized expertise, which the affiant demonstrably lacked. This undermines the reliability of the affidavit and raises serious concerns about reckless disregard for truth under Franks v. Delaware. The warrant should be deemed invalid, and all evidence obtained as a result should be suppressed.
