CA3: “[i]mages of child pornography and files containing images of [CP] in any form[,] wherever it may be stored or found” not general

“Here, the warrant directs officers to seize ‘[i]mages of child pornography and files containing images of child pornography in any form[,] wherever it may be stored or found.’ … It then, as in both $92,422.57 and Tracey, sets forth a broad list of computer-related devices that might store such images or files. We thus conclude, for the reasons expressed in $92,422.57 and Tracey, that the search warrant, though broad, was not general.” United States v. Gumbs, 2014 U.S. App. LEXIS 5740 (3d Cir. March 28, 2014).

Defendant’s computer was seized from a third person working on it for suspicion of child pornography on it which was to be deleted. The officers reasonably believed that exigent circumstances existed that he evidence would be lost. In re J. C. L., 2014 Ore. App. LEXIS 361 (March 26, 2014).*
