Personally: no & yes. For the latter, a legitimate court of law ought to laugh at this case. But that's not what he is facing.

The subject came up in conversation, so I figured I would take the temperature here.

I still find it so hard to believe a person at a McDonald's in a different state was able to ID him with the information publicly out there at the time. Putting on my conspiracy cap, I have to imagine that some sort of tracking of him was done that the feds don't want people to know about, or it was something that may be ruled unconstitutional and risk the case against him. If a random person calls in the tip, then there is reasonable suspicion on the local PD part, which would result in questioning and a search.
