Supreme court has ruled that warrantless phone search at the border is bogus, but theyre too shitpantsed to stick with it

[-] SunDevil@lemmy.ml 7 points 23 hours ago

Not if you live within the jurisdiction of the 4th Circuit. The court "ruled that a lower standard applies to manual searches, allowing the government to conduct extraordinarily invasive electronic device searches without any suspicion of wrongdoing, simply because the border officer chooses to search by hand rather than with a forensic tool."
