The defendant defrauded Office Max's loyalty program to the tune of ~$180,000, although they managed to void $130k of rewards upon uncovering the scheme. They did so in a manner that could easily be traced back to them (e.g. signing up for 5400 Office Max accounts using the same 4 GMail addresses with randomly inserted periods to make slightly different user IDs). They accessed the email from the same IP address, put…
Generally speaking, search warrants are pretty easy to get for prosecutors, and for good reason: If they required a ton of hard evidence to get, then a prosecutor wouldn't need it any more, they'd just charge the suspect. The entire reason for having search warrants is that there is "something" (a fact) which suggests you'll "probably" find evidence of a crime.
So because they are easy to get, why exactly would a prosecutor need to forge a warrant?
Earlier quoted context omitted.
I mean looking a prosecutors to be moral people is your first mistake. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/ex-texas-prosecutor-fir... >A former Texas district attorney agreed Friday to serve 10 days in jail for withholding evidence that could have stopped an innocent man from going to prison for nearly 25 years — apparently the first time a prosecutor has been sent to jail for concealing evidence helpful to the defe…
ABA states: Standard 3-1.2 Functions and Duties of the Prosecutor >(b) The primary duty of the prosecutor is to seek justice within the bounds of the law, not merely to convict. The prosecutor serves the public interest and should act with integrity and balanced judgment to increase public safety both by pursuing appropriate criminal charges of appropriate severity, and by exercising discretion to not pursue criminal…
Those are strong words, and I fully agree with them.
Prosecutors enjoy a nearly unqualified immunity, so long as they are doing their job they cannot be sued in civil court. However, forging documents is abjectly NOT part of a prosecutors jobs, mainly because it's illegal, but also highly immoral and unethical irrespective of law... in violation of Federal rules of procedure.
Interesting title, useless content. Video seems to be just a collection of document screenshots. Faking search warrants is a serious issue, but the compiler of this collection would have a lot more impact by adding a few hundred words to explain the point of the site instead of leaving it as a puzzle for the reader. Is this an attack on bad prosecutors in general? Is the website author the victim of prosecutorial har…
Thanks for the attempt at constructive criticism. There are actually that many words as subtitles in the video, I didn't leave out the hearing impaired. And a few hundred words are not necessary when six words at the top of the screen pretty much make it clear to most people. Maybe is not big enough, will consider making it bigger.
The title makes clear the allegation. Not the evidence. Even allegation specifics, e.g. who forged whose signature on which form, is elusive.

Thus was born the "confidential informant" to get around that last little problem the 4th amendment held in their way
Why would a prosecutor risk his own career and jail time to forge documents?
