Defendant had previously been convicted of child pornography, and he had lifetime supervision with a “reasonable” search condition. Despite that, officers got a search warrant for his house and computers for another such offense. First, there was justification for a warrantless search of his house and computers under the release condition. Second, there was probable cause for the warrant. The images that caused the warrant were child pornography. Third, the search of his attic and seizure of a story he wrote was within the warrant. United States v. Scanzani, 2019 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 138697 (D. Mass. Aug. 16, 2019).
