The mind-reading must be a procedural aspect of the case (e.g. "we present as evidence that we read the mind of the defendant and they believe they're not guilty"), not the subject of the court case (e.g. "The defendant was accused of illegally reading someone else's mind").

Must be accepted for use, not just presented and then rejected as not admissable.

If the mind-reading evidence is presented but either rejected by the court or appealed for being an unreasonable search, does that count as being used? Or does it have to be accepted as evidence and used to support the case?

@Mira Must be accepted as evidence. (Or some other use that isn't evidence, IDK.) If it's appealed later, I don't think I should take that into account, because there's no cutoff point past which that can't happen, so I could never resolve the market YES.
