CA2: Amending search warrant to retain a computer longer was valid

By John Wesley Hall, Jr.

"The claim that the inspection of the computers and CD-ROMs was untimely is contradicted by the August 2, 2004 Order Amending Search Warrant, which permitted the government to retain the 'computers and computerrelated equipment' without temporal limitation." [But, how did that happen?] United States v. Anson, 2008 U.S. App. LEXIS 22563 (2d Cir. October 15, 2008)* (unpublished). Officer had reasonable suspicion for stopping defendant's vehicle, and the use of a drug dog during the stop was not reasonable. United States v. Langlois, 2008 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 88611 (N.D. N.Y. November 3, 2008).*
