Nintendo records helped the FBI find a girl who'd run away from Virginia to Arizona. If she hadn't turned her Switch on she may never have been found.

note they didnt ask for a warrant. nope nifendo was more than willing to give the address to law enforcement. the precedent is thus, set

Why would this chick have a Nintendo switch on her and no smartphone? Why was she traveling to Arizona from Virginia to begin with?
