The search algorithm seems to ignore punctuation marks and extra spaces in its matching criteria. The ellipsis is a punctuation mark, so it is ignored in the search. The words that are used in the search match all words used in the title, so it is found....................

Does anyone think this means anything to the MARXIST in the White Hut? He will ignore it just like he has ignored other court decisions.

And our Police State will simply ignore the ruling.

The title fit just fine, even the addition with some of the subtitle.

Observe how it was done (look at title as modified to conform to standards/rules) and do it properly next time.

If they do, they cannot introduce in court any evidence they found for prosecution................

But the NSA can do whatever they want...

I've seen speculation that today's ruling was so broad that it could be used to challenge the NSA, actually.

Dude, get over it already. Don’t be so thin-skinned. You’re hijacking your own thread.

Searching for the exact title with the comma - as copied from The Washington Times - does not find a match.

Amen to that and all of the other remaining intelligence agencies...they’ll just hide behind this curtain “The court did carve out exceptions for “exigencies” that arise, such as major security threats.”

Don't forget the parallel construction crap they use to construct a legally-acceptable case using legally-unacceptable information.

I would think it applies to your email, but not to the internet, which is public for anyone to search.

Bottom line - if a case really has broad implications and could actually affect the Justices personally, don’t be surprised if they find a way to write a decision in their own best interests.

This is why, if I was President, I'd throw them [the USSC] in indefinite detention (with access to lawbooks/resources via a PFC) under the NDAA and their own ruling that indefinite detention is kosher… once their decisions start impacting them negatively, you can bet your ass they'll reverse it.

PS — I'd also love to see their personal property taken under Kelo-reasoning.

I think the key here is that the information on the device is not observable until a search warrant is obtained.

As far as confiscating the device, the courts have held that law enforcement has a duty to gather evidence. If someone is recording an incident, the recording could hold information relating to that person’s guilt or innocence.

If the device is confiscated for evidence, a receipt must be given and the device logged into property and evidence before the end of shift. This is the policy in California and Arizona.

By confiscating the device, it prevents the evidence from being photo shopped or altered.

For the cop haters, please don’t insult the intelligent people on this forum with stupid questions like “What’s to prevent the jack booted thugs from altering the evidence?”

That's not a stupid question though — remember the parking-lot video-tapes that were taken as evidence when that Army guy was shot. (NV Costco, IIRC)

I am sorry I am not familiar with that incident. Do you have a link I may check?

This is the incident: http://www.lasvegassun.com/news/2010/sep/23/officer-deadly-shooting-says-man-pointed-gun-didnt/

I couldn’t find an article detailing the missing video — but it disappeared/”was unrecoverable” from the lab they sent it to.

To obtain a warrant, they must prove tell some standard, boilerplate lies to a judge that one is necessary  for them to see what’s on the phone in order to prosecute the crime that is at hand,

Fixed that for ya. You're welcome!

Now let them enforce it.

Good luck with that. Google, Verizon, ATT, et al spy on our phones all day, the NSA collects all that information, then uses it all without indirectly snooping on our individual phones. I have no faith law enforcement agencies in any capacity will act in accordance with the laws. NONE.
