Wait why are two cellphones suspicious? Work and personal phones are super common
- wongarsu 7y agoTheir thought was probably "personal phone for normal stuff and burner phone for illegal activities". I would argue carrying two phones (especially if one is very cheap) makes you slightly more suspicious, but it's probably not a very strong signal. Something that warrants a closer look, nothing more.
- grawprog 7y agoI've seen quite a few people carrying a newer fancier phone for actual use and an older less good phone they use basically like an mp3 player.
- munk-a 7y agoHonestly, when warrants get involved then pretty much every objection I would have to the situation in this article gets thrown out. I would assume the warrant is issued in good faith by a judge that considered all the circumstances around the warrant and, thankfully, there are processes to correct warrants issued in bad faith and that will generally result in a fruit of the poisonous tree situation
