By itself, being found with the fresh, busted-up Champion is enough to get a conviction, especially with witnesses/snitches there to testify. Gathering the computer materials was only supplemental evidence.
By itself, posting on a computer about yesterday's dog matters, or on philisophies about what would make for a good combat dog, or theoretically how to care for a wounded dog, means nothing and is insufficient evidence to do anything.
It is only through the dropped-dime of a snitch (or undercover operative) that a "bust" can take place, which (if it does take place) then they will take whatever evidence they can get, once they get in (which naturally also includes a computer).
Yet, here again, the website isn't the problem (or even the main evidence),
the chopped-up dog and the testimony of the witness is the main evidence; the braggings online are only supplemental ... and would never stand up in court by itself, without a chopped-up dog or witness.
However, I would imagine that if any person foolish enough to directly brag they have a "new Champion," and if their address is known and they indicate the "fresh evidence" is there onsite, that might be grounds for a raid based on self-incrimination.
But talking about old events of events far in the past has never led to anything that I can think of, nor could it ever stand up in court by itself.
