    Came here to say this. It’s like taking a note out of your own pocket and ripping it up. What’s actually the criminal offence?

    The police just want to go on a fishing expedition on your data. Just try kicking in the doors of their house to do the same thing.

      It’s definitely an unlawful search though right? I mean what crime are they looking for they can’t just say they have some suspicion in order to dig through someone’s personal life, that’s unacceptable

        No crossing at a boarder you have no rights. And if you’re a non citizen you have even less rights.

        Unfortunately in the US, it is legal for border searches.

        Thank our corrupt supreme Court
