"We have a moral and, in more than 20 states, a legal obligation to report these findings to law enforcement," Best Buy said in a statement. "We share this policy with our customers in writing before we begin any repair."
Fuck the stupid child pornographers.
Did you even read what I quoted? One, they tell customers their policy ahead of time. Two, they are legally obligated to report child porn. The perps own fault for being both a perv and stupid."We have a moral and, in more than 20 states, a legal obligation to report these findings to law enforcement," Best Buy said in a statement. "We share this policy with our customers in writing before we begin any repair."

So you like the idea of a stranger searching through your private files and folders while there to fix a power supply or wiring problem? It can involve much more than pornography, it is a privacy issue, and having pictures in your computer doesn't make you a child pornographer, the people on the web taking the pictures where I assume you GOT the pictures are, and the FBI ought to be more concerned with them. If the web wasn't full of the stuff to begin with, people wouldn't have it on their computers to look at.
Turns out the Geek Squad has for years been working with the FBI to rat you out on any personal information they might find snooping around through your device without your permission while supposedly fixing it the FBI might be interested in. Discuss.
FBI paid Geek Squad staff to be informants, documents show

Once you willingly hand over your property to a third party and give them permission to use/look at/access it, 4th amendment protections go out the window.
If you are dumb enough to hand your child porn filled computer to someone who's entire job is to look at the computer's files and system to figure out what's wrong, not only does the Constitution not protect you, but they probably have a duty to report this to police or become accomplices after the fact.
I dont know...I would never hand my computer over to anyone. I guess that is why I never spend more than a few hundred dollars on one of this little disposable shit boxes anyway. Anything worth saving (Tax/Legal/Money) goes on an encrypted hard drive and deleted from the comp, which I highly recommend. After the thing dies, I remove the hard drive and physically destroy it.
Why people hand over their life to some 'Geek' is beyond me.

I keep coming back to the porn because that is what the story was about you stupid ass. Best Buy reporting child porn on clients computers.Did you even read what I quoted?

Still, I don't know their policy. It might be buried in a lengthy legal document full of legal crap that no one ever reads, like most agreements. You bought your computer at Best Buy and are obligated to take it there for service when it breaks never expecting that someone is going to go rooting all through your computer! Like I said, it could be other things than porn (you keep coming back to that for some reason), and it isn't like the stuff is sitting right out in the open on your desktop, is it? What do they do, go through all of your folders and files looking for it? I could see it if they just happened to come across it by accident, but to me, it sounds like they are rooting all through your computer looking for anything they can find.
I don't know about you, but I run a business where I keep customer documents and other things which I'm obligated to protect. Service or not, that computer is yours, private property, and I'm not aware that taking it to a service center for repair, unless it involves the installation of a new OS or other apps that would REQUIRE extensive handling of files or folders is a waver of your private property rights? I would never buy a computer at Best Buy much less use their Geek Squad, but knowing this now, I would never use them on principle, I don't give a flying fuck what their policy is (probably on a placard up on a store wall); THERE IS NO DAMNED LAW IN THE WORLD that REQUIRES a company to search and seize your private property against your wishes and permission---- UNLESS THEY ALREADY KNOW A LAW HAS BEEN VIOLATED. And you seem to keep dodging that issue. It sounds like the GS is going out of its way snooping all through your computer LOOKING for a crime without having prior reason to suspect one has been committed! And I thought reasonable people would be concerned about that and share my feelings---- I might have known some jackass on USMB would actually DEFEND an invasion of privacy. Let me guess, your a geek squad tech at Best Buy.

Your mischaracterization of Best Buy is slanderous and the output of a deep idiocy on your part.

Go smoke your weed, jackass. So your saying that if Best Buy finds a file showing where you defrauded a bank or stole from a credit union, the store won't report it? And I characterized nothing, moron, I merely reported a national article in the Modus Ponens style. Go fuck yourself. Frankly, I don't give a crap what is in your computer that you are so dear to protect, all I'm saying is to be aware that if you send your computer in for service, don't be surprised if some $8/hr kid doesn't go all through it hunting for crap to turn you in for, just like the Soviets used to do. And my guess is that if Best Buy ever got a hold of your computer, they'd have to send the Feds to your House because I can smell a creep when I see one.

I might add as an aside that any time you photocopy a document on a Xerox machine, like at a supermarket or anywhere, a copy of that document is saved in the hard drive of the photocopier and years later when sold to another party, the new owner often finds all kinds of things on the drive. So never photocopy anything of value to you on anything you do not own that you wouldn't want the whole world to see.

Like I keep saying, Marty, quite a different matter if it is a software issue and they have to be going through the operating system looking for application conflicts and stuff and accidentally come across illegal stuff. But no ethical company would be opening files and folders that do not concern them, just to see what is in there. That would be akin to taking your car in to your mechanic for an engine problem, and while there, the mechanic rooting all through your glove compartment papers, looking under your seat and rooting all through your trunk for anything valuable.
