- hwillis 2y agoSearch warrants are usually public record after they are unsealed. If they aren't included in evidence its a Brady violation and if caught the case is essentially dead. If the defense sees that the search warrant was given or executed first, they probably have a very strong argument that all the evidence is tainted. Parallel construction doesn't work very well when proof of tainted evidence is publicly available.

Still dubious that this would be used that way just because telecoms would be aware of this potential for misuse and would not give the data up without a subpeona or warrant, which under this ruling would not be allowed.
