I question this, and really, their availability.

With prep-time, any prosecutor and crew could dig up every tiny detail about you in about a week, including every single site any related IP addresses to you have been to and how much time you spend there and all of your dns queries.

But here, on the spot. "You tell us".

Their lack of effort is correlated to the amount of spite they have for any individual person. It's like using a magnifying glass. If they actually gave a shit, they wouldn't have to ask.
