Need help /raided and computers seized

webwoman · 2005-12-17, 09:29 PM

On wed Nov 16th the raid occurred. http://empressm.net/raid.htm To get the whole story of what is going on all needs to be read…after waiting weeks for any news to surface an article came out on http://www.ynot.com/modules.php?op=m...ticle&sid=9986 When a local reporter from the journal inquier decided to do a story based on what he found on the internet. At that point my attorney and the police said this read here http://www.journalinquirer.com/site/...=161556&rfi=6l
on dec 17th the story came out in the Hartford courant ..saying http://www.courant.com/news/local/hc...,4809501.story

To conclude another interview was done with my attorney who is making this a first amendment case ..Police say it was or they are trying to prove a computer crime..
They did not come to my home for my pro domination stuff as it is non- sexual
And they do not care about that…5 hrs of searching produced nothing as well as 5 weeks with the evidence …I think it’s a cover up for their 30 cop raid…
Here is the news that came out today
http://www.courant.com/news/local/hc...eadlines-local
so before you past judgement on things you don’t know ..its important to get the facts.
And that is this was wrong and it will be proven.

Why does it sound to me like your attourney is the one talking to the press, and the other side is basically "no commenting" things?

I don't pass judgement either way until I see what the police are dreaming up.

I will say this: Are your servers still up? Are you still gaining income from your business? Could you, example, go to an internet cafe and upload files? Could you purchase or rent a new computer and continue to work? You might find that arguing that you can't work because of the computers being seized may not hold water. Options could be found.

I look forward to more when the police and DA have something to say. I hope it works out, but I still feel like I am only reading one side of the story.

What's the matter with working from the computer you access to post on the board??

Why start a new thread when there is already one active about this subject?

webwoman · 2005-12-17, 10:53 PM

the police changed the story 3 times your not reading it at all...

RawAlex · 2005-12-18, 12:45 AM

No, I read it VERY carefully. 90% of the story is "your side", "your attourney said" and "reported in YNOT". No charges have been laid in this matter at this point.

I now understand (after everything in the other thread) why you think the city or county or whatever "should have known" about your business, but I have a feeling that you may have done what many others in the adult business do (including myself at times): I work in advertising, I do website design, I generate traffic from search engines, etc. Your business license says "membership Web site" and is a "home office". I guess I missed the one that says "Commercial BDSM Dungeon" and "Porn Video Content Production company".

None of these reports seem to bring any real new information to the front. In fact, the police and the courts seem to be specifically saying little:

"The investigation is continuing, and a judge has sealed the warrant that police obtained to search Michelle Silva's house on Montano Road. Capt. Anjo Timmerman would not comment on the case on Friday except to say that investigators had compiled enough evidence of criminal activity at the house to convince the judge to sign the warrant."

Until things move ahead, the rest is speculation and a one sided discussion with an absense of supporting facts.

This is the part where I find myself agreeing with Alex and Chop.

Why another thread?
