  1. Enough said!

    “The Court finds that seizing the totality of a reporter’s electronic work product, including tools essential to ongoing newsgathering, constitutes a restraint on the exercise of First Amendment rights,”

  2. Judicial smack down! When a Judge says things like this in an order demanding prosecutors hand over grand jury records - things are not going well for said prosecutors!

    " the prospect that government misconduct may have tainted the grand jury proceedings"

    “fundamental misstatements of law”

  3. #ConEdison , the energy company that serves #NYC , refuses to say whether #ICE or other federal agencies require a #SearchWarrant or #CourtOrder to access its customers’ sensitive data. Con Edison’s refusal to answer questions comes after 404 Media reviewed court records showing #HomelandSecurityInvestigations ( #HSI ), a division of ICE, has previously obtained such data, and the #FBI performing what the records call ‘searches’ of Con Edison data.

  5. #Cleveland police used #AI to justify a search #warrant. It has derailed a murder case - cleveland.com

    CLEVELAND, Ohio – A jury may never see the gun that authorities say was used to kill Blake Story last year.

    That’s because Cleveland police used a facial recognition program – one that explicitly says its results are not admissible in court – to obtain a search warrant, according to court documents.

  8. #Trump to sue the #DOJ for $100M, claiming the #FBI’s 2022 raid was a blatant act of “political persecution.”

    During the raid federal agents discovered >100 #classified records as they executed a #legal #SearchWarrant at Trump’s FL property. Trump denied the 40 #criminal counts related to his handling of the #ClassifiedDocuments, & the DOJ claims he actively #obstructed govt attempts to retrieve the materials, incl those related to #nuclear secrets & natl #defense.

  10. #FBI agents searched #MarALago on Aug 8, 2022, finding 103 #ClassifiedDocuments that eventually led to his #indictment.
    #Trump is seeking to suppress much of that #evidence by arguing that the #SearchWarrant was faulty.
    #AileenCannon also said Trump’s defense lawyers were #entitled to a hearing on whether prosecutors had misused statements by one of Trump’s fmr lawyers.
    
Cannon said she would shortly issue a separate order on when she will hear those issues in court.

  11. Just when you thought you’d had enough…

    Judge #AileenCannon said Thurs that she will hold a hearing for #Trump’s lawyers to challenge some of the #evidence gathered against him for alleged mishandling of #ClassifiedDocuments & #obstruction of government efforts to retrieve them.
    
In an 11-page order, the judge said that “further factual development is warranted” when it comes to Trump’s challenge to the #SearchWarrant for #MarALago.

  12. #Postolnikov has been under increasing scrutiny in the #criminal investigation into the #TrumpMedia merger. Most recently, he has been listed on #SearchWarrant #affidavits alongside several asscs – one of whom was #indicted last month for #MoneyLaundering on top of earlier #InsiderTrading charges.

    #ESFamilyTrust was established on 18 May 2021, creation papers show. Postolnikov’s “user” access to the acct was “verified” on 30 Nov 2021 by a #PaxumBank mgr in Dominica.

  13. #Twitter’s claim of right to alert #Trump to #Jan6 search rejected

    A #federal appeals #court has rejected Twitter’s claim that Donald Trump should have been alerted to the existence of a #SearchWarrant for his #data by prosecutors investigating #ElectionInterference in 2020, leaving in place a $350k fine imposed on the #socialmedia co for not complying on time.

  14. ⚡️ Inuvik RCMP executed a search warrant at Lakeview Manor as part of a proactive drug trafficking investigation. The operation is currently under investigation, with increased police activity expected in the area. No immediate risk to the public has been identified. Further details will be provided as the investigation progresses. #InuvikRCMP #SearchWarrant #DrugTraffickingInvestigation riskmap.com/incidents/1951682/

  15. The 32 messages, whose content has not been disclosed, were only a small fraction of the larger body of data that #Twitter was forced to turn over under the terms of the #warrant, the new court papers said. Much of the #legal wrangling over the matter focused on the #DOJ’s demand that Twitter, purchased last year by #ElonMusk & now known as #X, not inform #Trump of the #SearchWarrant.

  16. Newly #unsealed #court filings show that attorneys working for #SpecialCounsel #JackSmith worried that #Trump would publicly announce the #SearchWarrant of his #Twitter feed just like he announced on Truth Social when his Mar-a-Lago estate was searched by the #FBI last year.

  17. The federal prosecutors who charged #Trump this month w/conspiring to overturn the 2020 election got access this winter to a trove of so-called #DirectMessages that Trump sent others privately through his #Twitter account, acc/to court papers unsealed on Tues.

  18. Finally, on Feb 1, 4 days after the production deadline, #Twitter raised a #legal objection to the #nondisclosure order.

    “Although the company did not question the validity of the #SearchWarrant, it asserted that the nondisclosure order was facially invalid under the First Amendment,“ Pan noted. “Twitter informed the govt that it would not #comply w/the #warrant until the district #court assessed the legality of the nondisclosure order.”

  19. Reinhart… is also familiar w/the proceedings against #Trump: he signed off on the initial #SearchWarrant of Mar-a-Lago… & later ruled to unseal the search affidavit – decisions that made him the target of #antisemitic jabs….

    Judges in most federal cases are assigned at random. But the apparent nods to #Cannon & #Reinhart on the summons for Trump might actually reflect the fact that both have already played roles in the proceedings….

  20. #MullvadVPN's Office #Raided By #Police for User Data
    Swedish #VPN company, #Mullvad, reported that on April 18 2023, police came to their Gothenburg office with #searchwarrant to confiscate computers with personal data of VPN service clients.
    Mullvad informed police that they do not store any data of their customers, and confiscating computers would be considered a violation of Swedish law. Police officers left the Mullvad VPN’s office after consulting with prosecutor

  21. #EFF Files #AmicusBriefs in Two Important #Geofence #SearchWarrant Cases

    Should the police be able to identify everyone who was in a busy metropolitan area, just because a crime occurred there? In two amicus briefs just filed in appellate courts, we argue that’s a clearly unconstitutional search.
