they still don't get saved because the warrant was a general warrant. The warrant allowed them to seize everything in the 15 items they took, including all documents. photos, files, text files, emails, email passwords and other passwords. browser history, all my movies, music and other files any medical and personal information. The warrant didn't stop them from seizing everything. It basically allowed them to seize everything, and it states:
"Any and all computers, as defined in 720 ILCS 5/16D-2; any and all magnetic or optical media, including but not limited to hard disk drives, floppy disks, compact discs, DVDs, USB devices, and any and all passwords or other computer security devices, and any and all information and data stored in the form of magnetic or electronic coding on computer media or on media capable of being read by a computer or with the aid of computer equipment, any and all computer software, any and all evidence, data or information pertaining to the possession including but not limited to: any and all evidence of dominion and control over the computer, specifically, but not limited to, a computer possessing MAC address "EC:4F:82:29:B4:03" or IP address "72.9.123.215"; peer to peer file trading software; any and all information pertaining to dates and times of access to the computer; any and all information pertaining to internet searches pertaining to posts regarding threats of violence directed towards schools or public officials; records and other items which evidence ownership or use of computer equipment found in the above residence; including but not limited to sales receipts, bills for internet access and handwritten notes, records evidencing occupancy or ownership of the premises described above including but not limited to utility and telephone bills, mail envelopes or address correspondence. This search warrant shall include authority to analyze and search any magnetic or optical media seized for relevant evidence as outlined in this search warrant, and the property described herein, when found, shall be inventoried and a return of all instruments, articles or things seized shall be made without unnecessary delay."
FYI 720 ILCS5/16D-2 was repealed back in 2013, BUT again it allowed of seizure of all the materials on those 15 devices.
