I think the parent's point is that if there is a warrant to collect information, the machines can be seized and the company compelled to comply. This move prevents overreach in the moment.
- FireBeyond 9y agoThis doesn't just prevent overreach, it prevents any collection. Also known as "obstruction" (and possibly "destruction").
- rayiner 9y agoSo you want the police to start physically impounding property, instead of just getting the data it had a warrant to collect? How is that preventing overarch? It seems to be demanding it!

- Spivak 9y ago(If it were me) Yes! It's annoying as hell to have them haul off my workstations but I would much rather them seize the locked and encrypted data while legal has time to do the due-diligence on the warrant and come up with a plan for compliance. I keep my head above water so I really don't really care if the police can access the data. I do have a problem with the raid giving them access to data well beyond the scope of their warrant and relying on the courts to pare it down after the fact.
