Question Presented (from Petition)

QUESTIONS PRESENTED FOR REVIEW 1. Whether or under what circumstances is this Court’s ruling in Jacobsen applicable to computers in that a person loses any reasonable expectation of privacy contained on a computer, including private non-contraband, such that once it is seized by one agency pursuant to a warrant, it can be searched again for different contraband and private non-contraband by another agency years later without obtaining a new warrant? 2. Whether the lower court can interpret the meaning of words to determine probable cause existed in a search warrant without the false information when the issuing magistrate was not provided the information when determining whether or not to issue the warrant and then deny a Frank’s Hearing? ii
