Imagine that someone is a victim of a sexual assault by someone they knew. Emails or text messages pertaining to that person certainly can be relevant, but all the rest of the persons emails, text, photos, and other app data?

That seems beyond excessive, and could easily lead to the police going out of their way or using automated mean to scan your entire life for other things they could charge you with.

It would be similar to having your car robbed while parked at a shopping mall, then having the police refuse to help unless they could search your entire house too.
