I like how the bartender looked for the guy's name and phone number in his pictures.

For somebody possessing illegal stuff his paranoia level is remarkably low.

Yup... you hit the nail on the head! The bartender was doing nothing more than being nosey. He was probably hoping to see some juice photos or videos and got more than he bargained for.

Jane has a twin?

... I wonder if they take turns writing articles. Maybe they sometimes even write articles together

Not that hard to find out personal information from a cell phone. I have my home # listed in mine so I can voice dial with my hands free while I'm in the car. You can also look in the contacts. If you see a bunch of people with the same last name in someones contacts there is a good chance they are family so now you have the persons last name.

Of course you generally don't find stuff like that in the pics. That was just the bartender being nosey.

Delete him from the gene pool, please.

Why would you go through someone's pictures on their phone? Having those kind of pictures on your phone or anywhere else is sick but there is also that question of privacy and legality. It is possible that now the guy might get off on some technicality.

Maybe whenever there's a spelling mistake in an article, it's really Jane's evil twin writing it lol

No, because such rules as requiring a warrent, apply only to law enforcement, government employees and people acting at their behest. The bartender is a private citizen, so even though he may have violated the guy's privacy, it is still admissible. If a burglar broke into your house and found your meth lab, then was later picked up some place else, he could rat you out even though his being there was a violation of your expectation of privacy as well as being involved in the commission of a crime.

Please note, I am not a lawyer, but I have researched this a fair amount at the EFF.org website (as well as having taken a few general law classes).

knew the pleasure of having two older brothers and a twin sister around

Now I know the porn I would like to see.

Now, why the bartender thought he'd find Klein's name or phone number in the guy's own phone, I don't know.

Understandably the guy couldn't call the porn addict, however most phones have the ability to report their own phone number if you dig through the menu. That way folks who don't know their own phone number can figure it out. Or, so the finder of the phone can determine who owns it by giving it to police or the cell provider, etc.

Now, why the bartender (who must be a creep him/herself) was digging through the guy's photos is the other question.

1st Lesson: Don't put porn on your phone

2nd Lesson: Don't view CHILD porn

3rd Lesson: Don't give someone your cell phone

4th Lesson: Pay your tab.

[citation][nom]El_Capitan[/nom]Actually, I think the bartender uploaded child porn to the customer's phone... for not paying his tab and never giving him any tips.[/citation]
Now that's a scary thought. However, unless the bartender has a certain set skills (which, if he does... why is he working as a bartender?), it would be easy to tell the photos were added by someone other than the phone's owner.

not to condone kiddie porn but all cell phones can be password protected.

 

[captaincharisma]
