I am a Verizon customer, I had no idea that someone got a warrant based on the presentation of evidence of wrong doing on my part. I want to know what that wrong doing was.
And I am not alone, every Verizon customer I know has the same question (we don't talk about it on the phone, we speak in person now, strangers, friends and family members).
Were there individual warrants on each and every Verizon customer, or (and I've never heard of this before) were all several million of them accused of the same wrong doing, or were there several warrants where groups of them were accused of different wrong doings? What possible act of wrong doing could millions of people have committed all together? I don't know several million people well enough to be involved in any wrong doing with them.
You are aware that saying 'they abided by the law' requires proof that the warrant, singular airc, that they claim to have obtained, must have been based on sworn evidence of wrong doing.
I can post the law of the land on this if you like.
