Feels to me like GrapheneOS did exactly what it should, passing the US border test with flying colours!

Funny part about this lawsuit: “With a little planning ahead of time, you can always download the data you need once you get to where you’re going,”

It does not depend. 4th amendment is superceded by any state law, and it's SUPER clear that unless a crime has been committed and prosecutorial procedures are in place, no search or seizure is legal.

That's the whole point.

    It's a federal law. It's been legal since the constitution was written. There have been numerous court hearings stating it's legal.

    You might want to reread the 4th again. The supreme court has ruled international boarder crossing as a reaonable search, thus no warrant, RAS, or PC needed.

    Again...you can SEARCH all you want. Whether you find anything is not mandated.

    I'm not sure what's so hard to understand about this.

    And if you destroy evidence during an official investigation, it's tampering.

    I'm not sure why you're so confidently wrong. It's fucking embarrassing.

    Did you read the article and the laws pertaining to data seizure at the border? Crossing the border doesn't constitue an investigation of ANY kind, and also doesn't suddenly conjure up some sort of suspicion that a crime is in progress or has been committed, meaning no pretense for charges because PERSONAL DATA was not seized. Good lawd.
