  > The warrants included a search through all of her photos, videos, emails, text messages, and location data over a two-month period, as well as a time-unlimited search for 26 keywords, including words as broad as “bike,” “assault,” “celebration,” and “right,” that allowed police to comb through years of Armendariz’s private and sensitive data—all supposedly to look for evidence related to the alleged simple assault.That's an insane overreaction and overreach. There's some quotes from officers during the protests that are particularly troubling, too.The article links directly to the ruling: https://www.ca10.uscourts.gov/sites/ca10/files/opinions/0101...I wonder how the Sargent and Judge who approved these searches feel. If they take their jobs seriously, I do hope that they are more critical of search warrant applications in the future.

  Is this going to be appealed up to the Supreme Court? They are usually pretty eager to expand the power of qualified immunity so this judgement may be short lived.

  This is in Colorado Springs. What about the 100 mile border zone where the federal government pretends all rights are suspended?

  I think the top (tech) stories of the decade are likely: Privacy, AI and the energy transition.I hope that as a society we are starting to learn, and protect, the value of, and right to, privacy.

  It's an awesome victory. But until the penalty for violating rights under color of law is something real (like serious jail + restitution, barred from further public employment, etc) they will keep doing it.
