Oh, wow.

I think one of the big questions here, Dave, is...

If this poor young man is communicating on his phone and there are text messages, how does one go about compelling said young man to open his phone and display what he has been talking about in confidence to the police?

This is, in fact, where the story begins to take a very, very brutal turn.

You know, Dave, police investigators go to all kinds of lengths to take phones nowadays because they are, you know, as I've well stated, they're crime scenes that exist in our pockets.

I like to refer to cell phones in that manner now because they tell everything that we're doing and they see everything, they hear everything.

Um, and they spent a lot of time, cops spent a lot of time, you know, getting warrants and those sorts of things to get phones open.

And how many of these cases have we covered over the years?

Wow.

You know, relative to, you know, crime stories, you know, that, that you and I both appear on where we're, you know, we, you know, it's almost like a race against the clock, you know, and they want to get to this data and,

And, you know, we could go down this road relative to individuals that sit there in very granular detail telling the victims what areas of the body to wash, how to go about it, these sorts of things, taking their time to do it.

However, in a standard beating situation,

What are you going to do?

Wash off contusions?

Wash off abrasions?

That serves no purpose at the end.
