An opaque legal case against a Florida journalist is alarming press advocates, who see it as a troubling example of draconian government overreach. In May, former Deadspin editor Timothy Burke had his home raided by the FBI. Burke says federal agents seized “phones, computers, hard drives, notebooks, and his entire digital newsroom,” as well as his wife’s electronic devices.
According to Burke and his lawyer, Mark Rasch, the possible legal complaints here could prove problematic in and of themselves: It’s not clear what action Burke took constitutes a crime in the minds of prosecutors — whether they think he broke the law by using the publicly accessible demo credentials, or by viewing and recording the unencrypted live feeds, or both.
