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 *****
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.
