Google: Witness for the Prosecution

FOXNews.com - Technology - Google: Witness for the Prosecution

Robert James Petrick, 51, didn’t exactly point a Web browser to the Internet search engine Google and type in “how do you kill your wife?”

But he came pretty close, say prosecutors in Durham County, N.C.

eWeek, by way of Fox News, reports that Google information has been used to support a prosecution. We all saw this coming and as the prosecution states, this is not the last time we will see this done. Will the come a time when law enforcement will data mine the Google databases to help solve crimes? Pretty scary stuff and of course as usual Google is short on answers.
