Most importantly, the warrant should have specified the relevant time frame. The alleged criminal activity took place on one day only—June 18, 2014—and the police were looking for photos or videos taken that same day. There was nothing in the complaint indicating that any data created prior to that date was connected to the suspected public indecency. “Failure to limit broad descriptive terms by relevant dates, when such dates are available to the police, will render a warrant overbroad.”
