Carpenter v. United States caused a significant expansion of Fourth Amendment privacy rights for digital evidence and remote data. That evolution has grown with appellate courts issuing decisions analyzing affidavits for probable cause (PC), particularity, and a nexus to the requested data. This presentation explains several of those decisions and explores how they impact affidavits for digital evidence search warrants. Additionally, participants will learn how to show a link between the PC to specific evidence.
