This was unclear from the article...but from what I understand the police want info on anyone who searched a specific term on google for a specific image from geo-location/IP in that city a week before the crime took place ?
1. What if the criminal didn't use Google?
2. What if the criminal did use Google but used a VPN or Tor or a Proxy?
This article is a piece of crap and is plain wrong.
Police asked for a warrant for anyone anywhere over a 5 weeks period who search for the name that leads to the picture used in the fake passport that you can find on google but not yahoo or bing.
