ACLU of Colorado filed a lawsuit against Colorado Springs police and the FBI claiming officers executed unjustified, unlawful search warrants against a nonprofit and an individual.
“The lawsuit alleges the City of Colorado Springs and its officers obtained unjustified search warrants for the private Facebook messages of the Chinook Center and all of Ms. Armendariz Unzueta’s personal devices, including her cell phone, laptop, and external hard drives,” according to the release. “The warrants failed to comply with foundational constitutional requirements intended to safeguard privacy and are especially important in the digital age.
Police used minor criminal charges as the basis to execute dragnet search warrants, and the FBI aided police “to search and copy the complete contents of Armendariz Unzueta’s personal devices they had seized.”
