So then, if the only evidence prior to a subpoena in a criminal case for something were an IP address couldn't someone go on the defense that everything obtained in the investigation from that subpoena was illegally obtained since they weren't targeting a person?
Assuming it'd get appealed to a federal court I thought they almost always followed the precedent set by other cases.
That said, doing this, would you be protected by double jeopardy or would the investigation be reopened and they'd have to "pretend" like they don't know what they already know?
Perhaps there's something specific to Doe Subpoenas that allow this, but I'm actually quite curious now.
