No Warrant Needed: Border Agents in NY, CT, and VT Can Now Search Your Phone

The Knight First Amendment Institute argued as amicus that searching expressive and associational content on phones demands a First Amendment warrant. The Second Circuit rejected that argument, holding that neither the Fourth nor the First Amendment carves out a special exemption for phones at the border.
Wow. Yeah… We all need shitty travel phones with very little on them now. That’s fucking gross.

Or don’t travel with a phone at all. Take a digital camera and use that for pictures.
Anything else, just buy a used phone at your destination and load all your accounts on that, then delete and reset your phone and sell it before you leave

They’ll search that too! Take an analog camera instead. At least that way you get the film developed for free ;).

If by “developed” you mean “opened and exposed to the light” then yes

use one that requires a dark room.
You realize these powers extend within 100 miles of any border?

Including waterways.

And airports
Replying to @northernlights@lemmy.today
That’s like most of the populated areas

Doesn’t it also include international airports and waterways?
Replying to @edible_funk@lemmy.world
I don’t know, but if the 100 mile rule applies to international airports and waterways it would probably change that 2/3 of the population to something like 9/10.
Replying to @edible_funk@lemmy.world
Yes it does

The second circuit used the right argument but somehow came to the wrong conclusion. The 4th carves out no special exemption, meaning you need a warrant.

Task failed successfully?

Conservatives are pathological liars by nature. They re-invent the meanings of words to suit their immediate needs. Never trust a conservative. Never.

Could it be because the technology was still 250 fucking years away?

That was my question too…

Or don’t travel there.

I unfortunately live in this cesspool of a country
