IN THE MAGISTRATE'S COURT OF THE KINGDOM OF ALEXANDRIA
CRIMINAL ACTION
The Crown,
Prosecution
v.
Thritystone,
Defendant
OPPOSITION TO ENTREATY FOR WARRANT TO SEARCH
I. INTRODUCTION
Defendant Thritystone opposes the Crown's application for a search warrant as set forth in
The Crown v. Thritystone, Case 3 (Mag. Ct., 2026) #2 and as amended in
The Crown v. Thritystone, Case 3 (Mag. Ct., 2026) #6. The requested scope is vastly overbroad, violates the constitutional protection against unreasonable search and seizure, would expose attorney-client privileged communications, and constitutes an impermissible fishing expedition into the private affairs of an entire political party.
II. LEGAL STANDARDS
A. Probable Cause Requirement
Under
A.P. 01-006 §8(2):
"To receive a search warrant, a peace officer must obtain certification from a magistrate that there is
probable cause to believe that evidence of a crime exists in a particular place."
B. Constitutional Protection Against Unreasonable Search
K.A. Const. § V Art. 22(12) guarantees:
"Every player has the right to be secure against
unreasonable search and seizure."
C. Attorney-Client Privilege
A.P. 01-008 §9(1)(b)(i) establishes:
"
Attorney-Client Privilege - Except in cases where a person's life is at risk...
a person's conversations regarding a legal case are privileged and inadmissible in court."
III. THE REQUESTED SCOPE IS UNCONSTITUTIONALLY OVERBROAD
The Crown seeks access to:
- All public and private channels within the Alexandria National Party Discord server;
- The audit log of the ANP Discord server; and
- Financial records pertaining to the Alexandria National Party, members of ANP Leadership, candidates running on the ANP Party List in the January 2026 General Election, and "any legal entities controlled by the listed individuals and entities."
This request is not a targeted search for evidence of a specific crime. It is a wholesale seizure of an entire political party's internal communications and finances, in violation of
K.A. Const. § V Art. 22(12).
IV. ARGUMENT
A. The Warrant Violates the Constitutional Right Against Unreasonable Search
The
K.A. Const. § V Art. 22(12) guarantees that every player shall "be secure against unreasonable search and seizure." A search is unreasonable when it:
- Lacks particularity as to what is being searched;
- Extends beyond the scope of probable cause; or
- Invades the privacy of persons not implicated in wrongdoing.
The Crown's request fails on all three counts. The request for "all public and private channels" lacks any particularity—it sweeps in channels wholly unrelated to elections. The request for records of "Members of ANP Leadership" is undefined—who qualifies as "leadership"? The request extends to "all candidates on the party list," individuals who are not accused of any wrongdoing. And the request for "any legal entities controlled by listed individuals" is unlimited in scope—it could encompass any personal asset, business, or holding.
B. The Warrant Would Violate Attorney-Client Privilege
The ANP Discord server contains channels where party leadership communicates with legal counsel regarding legal matters, including this very case. These communications are protected by attorney-client privilege under
A.P. 01-008 §9(1)(b)(i).
The privilege applies because:
- Communications exist between attorneys and clients (ANP leadership);
- The communications regard legal cases and legal advice;
- No exception applies—no person's life is at risk.
At minimum, any warrant must
exclude all channels containing attorney-client communications. The Crown cannot be granted access to privileged defense strategy discussions. To do so would fundamentally undermine the right to counsel and the adversarial system itself.
This Court should require the Crown to identify, with specificity, which channels it seeks access to, and should categorically exclude any channel used for legal consultations.
C. Probable Cause is Limited to One Transaction
The Crown's evidence establishes, at most, probable cause regarding:
- One payment of £250
- From Thritystone to WonderRuby
- On January 19, 2026
This narrow factual basis does not support searching:
- Every channel in an entire political party's Discord server;
- Financial records of every candidate and party leader; or
- "Any legal entities" controlled by anyone associated with ANP.
D. The Crown Admits This is a Fishing Expedition
The Crown's own filing reveals its true purpose.
See The Crown v. Thritystone, Case 3 (Mag. Ct., 2026) #2 §II(5):
"The Crown thus believes that there is probable cause to suspect that
multiple individuals within the Alexandria National Party have entered into a conspiracy to offer compensation to others in exchange for votes..."
The Crown is not seeking evidence of the crimes
charged against this Defendant. It is seeking evidence of
uncharged crimes against
uncharged individuals. This is the textbook definition of a fishing expedition.
Under
A.P. 01-006 §8(2), warrants require probable cause that evidence of a crime exists "in a particular place." The Crown cannot use a warrant in
this case to conduct a general investigation of the entire ANP.
E. Third-Party Privacy and Association Rights
The requested warrant would expose:
- Private communications of ANP members who are not charged with any crime;
- Financial records of individuals not accused of any wrongdoing; and
- Internal party deliberations protected by freedom of association under K.A. Const. § V Art. 22(9).
The Crown has not established probable cause as to any of these third parties. Their constitutional rights should not be violated based on allegations against one individual.
F. The Financial Records Request is Effectively Unlimited
The amended request for "financial records pertaining to... any legal entities controlled by the listed individuals" provides no limiting principle. This could encompass:
- Personal bank accounts unrelated to politics;
- Business ventures having nothing to do with elections; and
- Any investment, asset, or holding.
The Crown's justification—that "business entities may have been used to obscure transactions"—is pure speculation.
See The Crown v. Thritystone, Case 3 (Mag. Ct., 2026) #6. Speculation does not establish probable cause.
V. ALTERNATIVE: A NARROWLY TAILORED WARRANT
If this Court finds that some search is warranted, Defendant respectfully requests the scope be narrowed to:
- Communications within the ANP Discord specifically referencing payments, compensation, or incentives related to voting in the January 2026 General Election—excluding any channels used for attorney-client communications;
- /treasury records showing payments from Thritystone to any individual during the election period (January 15–23, 2026).
This narrowed scope would address any legitimate investigative need without:
- Violating the constitutional protection against unreasonable search;
- Exposing privileged attorney-client communications; or
- Authorizing a dragnet through an entire political organization.
VI. CONCLUSION
The Crown's warrant application is unconstitutionally overbroad, would violate attorney-client privilege, lacks particularity, and seeks to investigate uncharged crimes against uncharged individuals based on speculation.
WHEREFORE, Defendant Thritystone respectfully requests that this Court:
- DENY the warrant application in full; or
- In the alternative, NARROW the warrant substantially to:
- Exclude all channels containing attorney-client privileged communications;
- Limit Discord access to communications specifically about vote-related payments;
- Limit financial records to Thritystone's /treasury records during the election period only.
Respectfully submitted,
