The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) will argue in court today that the warrant used by the FBI in the now infamous “Playpen” child pornography case was unconstitutional.

The man who shot U.S. Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry in 2010 with an ATF-supplied gun, Heraclio Osorio-Arellanes, was arrested on Wednesday on a ranch on the border of the Mexican states of Sinaloa and Chihuahua.
The U.S. Justice Department is facing growing criticism over an ongoing, Obama-era prosecution — or persecution, as some critics have put it — of a political activist accused of shutting down a hospital's website. His goal was to bring attention to what he and others across America viewed as a grave injustice. The alleged crime has been described by critics of the prosecution as “civil disobedience” tantamount to “digital vandalism” — all for what the critics viewed as a very worthy cause: saving a girl from potentially life-threatening abuse inflicted with the cooperation of local government. But if prosecutors get their way, the man could face more than a decade behind bars. Family members and supporters are hoping Attorney General Jeff Sessions might intervene.

Geek Squad employees — who are also paid by the FBI — have been using a computer forensic tool developed in cooperation with the FBI to search customers' computers for child pornography.
Of course the judge denied Sessions' request. Nothing is allowed to stand in the way of federalizing the Baltimore Police Department.
It's nice to have in place an attorney general who supports local police instead of the previous one, who worked to assimilate local police into the federal apparatus.
