United States v. Cotterman

Amicus curiae brief of the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers and the Electronic Frontier Foundation in support of defendant-appellee’s petition for rehearing en banc. In a prosecution for production, possession and importation of child pornography and obscene materials, the panel held that a search of the defendant’s laptop that began at the border and ended two days later at a government forensic laboratory almost 170 miles away fell within the border search doctrine.
