Transcription (of iMessage exchange): “Hi, is this Paul?

Who is this

This is Erica from the dentist’s office. I got your number from your file

Pretty sure this violates Hippo but shoot your shot I guess

I’m not flirting with you. We have you on video stealing thousands of dollars of x-ray equipment”

    That’s trump level defense - you can’t take me to court for stealing because that violates my Hippo rights

      That’s how it works actually - if you break the law while making the case, your case is invalid.

        Thats why this needs to change.

        If you commited murder and someone breaks the law to get you, you should still get convicted.

        But the person breaking the law should have no immunity either and face the consequences of their actions. But if the person abused a position of power (police, politician, etc) they should face twice the punishment, one time for breaking the law and a second time for doing so in a trusted office.
