If you're just there to "look around" and don't already know exactly what you are expecting to find then you shouldn't have been given the warrant to begin with

If you're just there to "look around" and don't already know exactly what you are expecting to find then you shouldn't have been given the warrant to begin with. This is a criminal investigation, not a fishing expedition.
- FireBeyond 9y agoYeah, and the defenders of Uber's activities here are acting as if the warrant -was- a fishing warrant and wasn't properly scoped, when the validity of this assertion had zero to do with their decision to "Ripley" the office. It wasn't to prevent an overreaching warrant, it was to prevent -any- warrant from being meaningfully served.
- Consultant32452 9y agoIt wasn't an attempt to prevent any warrant at all. It was an attempt to prevent the authorities from accessing data NOT COVERED BY A WARRANT. Once Uber's lawyers have reviewed the warrant they will instruct the sysadmins to provide the covered data in a clean way which doesn't expose extra data. Simple as that. Generally speaking warrants are not granted for "all of your data." Imagine if every time the authorities got a warrant for some data Google has about a particular suspect, Google would reveal all of its internal data about every user, all of Google's internal financial files, etc. That would be insane.
