I am not certain whether this is the proper area in which to post this issue, but I thought I would give it a shot. This could very well be a bogus hoax, but it concerned me as I post occasionally on Pillreports.com and include pictures of pills. I read this recently:
"just a tip..... my friend used my scanner to scan some pills he had gotten for himself, and now its being used as evidence against me to put me away saying i'm a drug dealer! Cops patrole (sic) these boards and trace IP addresses of people that post pics here... be careful!"
Is it possible to use IP addresses to trace someone and charge them with possession or dealing?
Does anyone know if this has actually occurred?
Feel free to move this post to a more appropriate area (if there is one), but I thought I would start here due to the search and seizure implications of the question.
