California doctor Mark Rettenmaier was arrested in 2012 after Best Buy computer technicians found child pornography images on his hard drive. The judge ruled that users have no legal expectation of privacy when they hand over their computers to Best Buy’s Geek Squad IT technicians. The doctor’s lawyers claim the FBI recruited and trained Geek Squad technicians to search for illegal files on users’ computers using custom-built software. The FBI was paying Geek Squad employees between $500 and $1,000 per report they filed.
