Jared Adams - FINALLY actual GEOFENCING DATA in an Affidavit
If you were inside our Capitol on Jan 6th—FBI Agents are like a dog with a bone & you’re screwed. Agents will identify you “then boom goes the dynamite“ - turn yourself in.
Defendant JARED ADAMS -
By way of background and before social media companies decided to take his account(s) down:
Facebook Public Profile full archive found here - his November 5, 2020 Facebook Post, found here and archive found here. An additional post, also posted on the 5th, found here. His Instagram account, found here.
Charge(s) in Criminal Complaint: 18 U.S.C. § 1752(a)(1) - Knowingly Entering or Remaining in any Restricted Building or Grounds Without Lawful Authority, 40 U.S.C. § 5104(e)(2) - Violent Entry and Disorderly Conduct on Capitol Grounds, and 18 U.S.C. § 1752(a)(2) - Knowingly Engaging in Disorderly or Disruptive Conduct in Restricted Building.
Affidavit/Statement of Facts, supporting the criminal complaint. On January 7, 2021, the FBI received a tip, from Witness-1 (W-1) - which also disclosed an Instagram account registered to Jared Adams. According to the Affidavit Adams stated, your an Instagram “story”
“We stormed the Capitol building and the senate today! I can tell my grandchildren I was there!”
Geofencing meets FBI to Google concerning location services1 -here’s your warrant now give us what we need. I’m certain that exchange didn’t go down like that. But in my head that’s how I want it to be, but I digress
“….Google assigns a “maps display radius a mobile device associated XXX_XXXX1994@gmail.com was present at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021. Google estimates device location GPS data and information about nearby Wi-Fi using sources including; access points and Bluetooth beacons… for each location data… location data is accurate to within 10 meters, Google assigns a “maps display radius” of 10 meters to the location data point. Finally, Google reports covered device approximately 68% of the time. In this case, Google location data shows that a device associated with gmail.com for a total approximate time inside the U.S. Capitol of one hour and 47 minutes…”
In short Google uses various sources of data collection to “estimate” a Google account holder’s location. Which Google previously explained in USA-v-Chatrie
Full disclosure the magnification on page 4 of the Affidavit is mine, again it is not original to the document. I added it after I paid for the filings.
Warrant Returned executed (from Columbus OH) - notice what I highlighted? Yes that will likely be a pressure point prosecutors will press down on - should they file a Pretrial Detention Hearing.
In the event that Instagram suspends his account - I pulled down the three availed “stories” and upload them - you’ll note the affidavit repeatedly references his Instagram account2
Southern District of Ohio (SDOH) - MJ Case No 2:21-mj-00164-EPD which is a progeny of the DDC MJ Case No: 1:21-mj-00285 and with that I think you’re quasi caught up. Have a great day and try to do something that makes you laugh or brings you incandescent joy -xo Filey
I am kind of serious, the USA-v-Chatrie is a very significant case as it relates to “geofencing warrants”, last visited March 9, 2021

A highlighted and annotated Affidavit available on my public drive
And for the record - I purposely redact the FBI agents name. Largely because I respect the incredible work by the men and women of the FBI and I don’t feel comfortable with having their names out there in the public domain. Yes Fed Court filings are a matter of public record but out of a sense of respect & decency that’s why I tend to redact the affiant’ s name and signature -the end 🤓
Great work, Spicy!!!
