The seizure was done pursuant to a warrant too. There’s an argument that, once the warrant extensions expired, keeping the device in police custody constituted a continuing seizure. But it doesn’t seem like the defendant made that argument (or at least the court didn’t address that argument)



Usually one has to petition/request the return of seized items. So it's not unusual that something is still held until requested.

Usually instead of fixing what they have, they tend to destroy it.
