State v. Wilson

Summary

The court affirmed the suppression of evidence obtained from Wilson’s cell phones because the warrant authorized a forensic search for “any and all stored electronic information” without meaningful limits on what officers could search for or seize. The warrant therefore failed the Fourth Amendment’s particularity requirement and authorized an impermissible general search. The court also rejected the State’s reliance on the good-faith exception because the ruling applied established law rather than overruling prior precedent.
