    i mean i’ve personally seen sheriffs look up people who were dating family members (on publicly available databases like pacer. the same databases you and i have access to that they knew about since they are law enforcement, but odds are you have never heard about. i’m in there dozens of times as an expert witness, two or three times as a plaintiff, and once as a defendant in a speeding ticket. you’re talking to a real criminal now) because they (correctly) assumed the niece was dating a gang member. i mean i was part of a roving gang of violent minstrels when i was younger and apparently my wife’s family has a type. this dude played guitar and sold reeds out back the music shop. total bad influence. miss him.
