This makes sense, and I actually believe that it isn’t a search. It is definitely a _seizure_ though and I do wonder how often these two things are distinguished in law.
How often do the police raid a place and confiscate filing cabinets but not look through them.
- rayiner 2y agoThe seizure was done pursuant to a warrant too. There’s an argument that, once the warrant extensions expired, keeping the device in police custody constituted a continuing seizure. But it doesn’t seem like the defendant made that argument (or at least the court didn’t address that argument)
- giantg2 2y agoUsually one has to petition/request the return of seized items. So it's not unusual that something is still held until requested. Usually instead of fixing what they have, they tend to destroy it.
