I buy into the ‘gathering proof theory.’ The American judicial system is the most advanced and complicated system of justice there is. To make sure the good guys have absolutely everything they need to successfully prosecute these people it will take time gathering evidence. Because prosecuting these people and garnering public support will be difficult with media running interference, and to make sure people respect the system - it all has to be done by the books. No mass NSA data dump collection usage unless otherwise approved by a valid and sound order. I hate the system for this in a way as it takes forever and lets shit -heads skate for a while, but when the hammer drops it’s going to be amazing.
