Seminar TECH9.1: Smarter Affidavits for Smartphones

Sunday 2:15 PM - 4:15 PM

Room: 214

Following the Supreme Court’s decision in Riley that searching the contents of smartphones is a Fourth Amendment search, trial courts will likely require suppression of evidence found on cell phones unless officers have a search warrant or have an exception to the warrant requirement. Courts are increasingly skeptical of allowing exceptions to the warrant requirement, so mastery of affidavit writing is a must for any officer that plans to exploit evidence from electronic devices that have a high degree of privacy.
