Without a warrant, it's literally his phone to do with it what he pleases. Baffled that that's not the end of the conversation.

Assuming we lived in a rational world with a fair and impartial justice system, and not one that exists to funnel money from the working class into the Epstein class and kill or imprison everyone that makes that less easy.

    I think the supreme court has said they can search phones without warrants at the border and points of entry, so airports.

    You can't be compelled to give them your password, but you can be compelled to use your biometric ID. Clear as mud.

    well they have the "border search exception" so at the border, no, they generally do not need a warrant for "routine searches" of electronic devices. Fucked up, but that is the law on the books and US courts have virtually always upheld it when it comes up.

    A judge issues a warrant when there is an active criminal investigation. If there's no investigation, no warrant.

    Oh, that's not how it works in the united States. Is this some commonwealth legal thing?

    It is how it works inside the united states. It's just they claim that because he was on the flight side of the airport, he wasn't inside the US.

    it is how it works

    Thanks but I live here and it's not basically ever.

    Cops either use a pretense tools like a drug dog to establish probable cause for the search they want or do parallel construction after they've already built the general structure of a case, usually tracing things to a valid cause for search, usually via coached informant.

    Or its ice and they can just do whatever they want.

    You're living in a fantasy world and your delusional ignorance is real danger is worrying. Please never approach or speak to me in person.

    That's not how it works. I'm not sure that's how it's ever worked. You're living in a fantasy. Warrants are not a meaningfully real thing.

    My point was that they fabricated a pretense to avoid needing one, just as you said. You're making the same fucking point.

    'These are viable alternatives to the thing you're insisting exists, on the assumption that the thing exists. Notably a thing that is a piece of SciFi tech from 'star trek' and something that obviously doesn't exist as evidenced by my personality.'

    The point being that warrants are equally a thing to the star trek stuff.
