Using Seized Data Beyond Scope of Warrant

US Court Dings Gov't For Using Seized Data Beyond Scope of Warrant
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 2nd Circuit last week reversed a tax evasion conviction against an accountant because the government had used data from his computers that were seized under a warrant targeting different suspects.
Kind of surprised they brought the case in the first place, even more surprised they won it.
