  An attempt to commit a crime is a crime. Planning it is not.

  There are so many actions that are crimes. Doing X with intent to Y is a crime. Proving intent can be tricky. But that’s up to the DA to argue.

    That’s what I said. Typing things into a chat doesn’t prove intent. For the same reason google is not monitoring searches and sending them to police. You can type anything you want into a search box. It’s never a crime.

        Google search history can be used as evidence but you cannot be charged with googling something. Do you understand the difference?
