If they were searching for evidence of a crime, what crime was it?

They claimed they were looking for CSAM. There's a border search exception to the fourth amendment that says CBP can search your phone at the border. You aren't required to give them a password (but possibly a fingerprint or facial scan) but they can temporarily sieze it (and do god knows what to it).

The crime of disagreeing with the President.

  • The downvotes you get on this website for being completely correct never cease to astonish me.

    I'd like some filter where if a comment is downvoted by IP addresses located in USA, they are considered as upvotes.

  • That isn't a crime in the US thanks to the first amendment.

    • > That isn't a crime in the US thanks to the first amendment.

      Technically correct is not the same as practically correct.

    • Doesn't mean they won't still dump your phone and detain you as long as they can if they see a meme they don't like.

      They can detain you for days if you're not white. (Kavanaugh Stop)
