Something to remember

"On March 21, 2018, officer Christian Nelson obtained a warrant for Daugherty's home (hereinafter the "Device Warrant") to seize "any and all computers... including but not limited to hard disk drives, floppy disks, compact discs, DVD's USB devices... and any and all information and data stored in the form of magnetic or electronic coding on computer media or media capable of being read by a computer..." Search Warrant, 18-MR-40 (Exhibit F). The Device Warrant further provided "authority to analyze and search any magnetic or optical media seized for the relevant evidence as outlined in this search warrant..." The Device Warrant did not mention what electronic evidence or data the police could seize pursuant to this warrant, nor did it name the crime for which the police had probable cause. Instead, it allowed an unlimited search of all of the devices. Furthermore, it did not expressly incorporate the affidavit into the warrant terms." (Daugherty's Motion to Suppress 2024)
