The warrant in question was issued in Allegheny County, PA.
This is an iffy subject and one that I will try and be as specific about without going into specifics. The warrant does not target me but someone who was close to someone I know. The warrant was issued for a search of the premises and seizure of all electronics including computers and all storage media devices. From what I understand the police came and arrested the suspect and started gathering all the electronic equipment in the house and searched the equipment and storage media on the premises. I was finally able to read the warrant for myself and noticed that in the description it said "to be seized and searched at a later time." The suspects attorney is trying to have the warrant thrown out on this basis. Is this a possibility? Are the police allowed to make a search of the computer inside the premises to determine if the computer and storage devices are what they are looking for before seizing the equipment or did they make a big mistake?
Also I forgot to add that there was a young girl who was questioned. When the mother asked to see her daughter the police said they weren't done taking her statement. She's 17 yrs old. Can she opt to talk to the police without her mothers consent or the police getting permission first?
