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

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

    Thank our corrupt supreme Court
