"The search here was unlimited in that it allowed a search of any computer or computer storage device for the following: any and all evidence of dominion and control over the computer, specifically, but not limited to, a computer possessing MAC address "EC:4F:82:29:84:03" or IP address "72.9.123.215"; 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. Search Warrant, 18-MR-40 (emphasis added) (Exhibit F).
This does not limit the search to evidence of the threatening post. The language specifically "includes but is not limited to" the subsequent clauses which provide an illustrative but non-exclusive list of what the government may search for and seize." (Motion to Suppress Illinois v Daugherty 2024)
meaning they seized everything on the computer, they did not list ANY actually item they were searching or seizing allowing them to rummage through and seize anything thus, making it a general warrant.
