    I feel like if criminals didn’t basically Google “How to kill someone and get away with it” the justice system would never convict a person.

        Maybe, but google also keeps a record of your searches. The cops can also subpoena them.

      I think it’s why so many people like the serial killer media/documentaries. I’m pretty sure they have to change certain things to not give out that information, but my suspicion is many believe that it’s an “untraceable” way to get certain kind of information.
