I'm not too outraged over this one. They're asking who in a specific city googled a specific name during a specific timeframe. This is how you find out who your suspects are. I understand it's a razor thin line between "normal police work" and "dragnet surveillance" but this time I think it's the former.

Nope. the clickbait article that got posted here tries to spin it that way, but the warrant is for anyone/anywhere.
