Comment on Man Arrested Alleging He Maliciously Started What Became the Palisades Fire

Comments

I submitted this not only because of the significance of the fires but how law enforcement built the case largely from his digital footprint.

Less interesting and common evidence was used (e.g. video surveillance, cellphone data) but the inclusion of the alleged arson included their ChatGPT history, and his music history leading up to the fire.

He was also an Uber driver so my guess is they also subpoenaed this as well if they were this thorough.
