Therefore, Title 18 U.S.C. 1924 makes it a
federal crime to knowingly remove classified documents or materials from their designated locations without authorization or retain them in an unauthorized area.
Knowingly means you need intent moron
God you are stupid
First, for an individual to be convicted of this crime, the government must prove beyond a reasonable doubt three elements:
- The defendant was a government officer or employee, contractor, or another person who lawfully had custody and control of classified documents;
- The defendant unlawfully and knowingly removed such documents from their designated locations; and
- The defendant intended to retain such documents at an unauthorized location.
Intended, duh
