Redwood City, Calif. – On Thursday, February 18, at 9:00 a.m., the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) will urge a judge in Redwood City, California, to suppress evidence illegally gathered from an iPhone.<\/p>\n
In People v. Taylor<\/i>, police in Daly City, California, seized the suspect’s phone during his arrest. Hours later, investigators searched through the data on the device — including contacts, called phone numbers, emails, text messages, Internet search history, and photos — without a search warrant. Police later obtained a search warrant for the phone, based in part on information gathered during the initial illegal search.<\/p>\n
In Thursday’s hearing, EFF Senior Staff Attorney Marcia Hofmann will ask the court to suppress the illegally gathered evidence and quash the warrant based on that improperly collected information.<\/p>\n
