Federal law requires a warrant to search most digital devices.

Under the 4th Amendment & the ECPA of 1986, police must obtain a warrant before searching phones or computers — a rule the Supreme Court unanimously reinforced in its 2014 Riley v. California ruling.

The FBI's facial recognition database holds over 150M photos.

The FBI's Next Generation Identification system pulls from mugshots, DMV records, and more. That massive pool lets investigators ID people in digital evidence even when witnesses — like some in the Philadelphia case — refuse to talk.
