MANHATTAN (CN) - Holding an accountant's computer data for 2½ years before
sifting through the files for signs of tax evasion is an "unreasonable
seizure," the 2nd Circuit ruled this week.
"If the government could seize and retain non-responsive electronic
records indefinitely, so it could search them whenever it later developed
probable cause, every warrant to search for particular electronic data
would become, in essence, a general warrant," U.S. Circuit Judge Denny Chin
wrote in the 37-page majority opinion.
