GA: “DVDs of pornography” probably inspecific, but searching everything isn’t

Doubletalk of the week: “DVDs of pornography” probably insufficient, but “‘records’ and ‘information’ encompassed ‘all the foregoing items of evidence in whatever form and by whatever means they may have been created, duplicated, transferred, or stored, including any electrical, electronic, or magnetic form’ to include ‘floppy diskettes, hard disks, CD, CD-ROM, DVD, DVD-Rom,’ other methods of documentation, and ‘[a]ny records or information related to Internet based pornography …’” is not. Womack v. State, 317 Ga. App. 496, 731 S.E.2d 387 (2012).* [So, they can’t search DVDs because it’s too inspecific, but they can search everything electronic or paper. Try and make sense of this because I can’t. This makes absolutely no sense that DVDs alone is not specific. How are they labeled? It was plenty specific and limited the search. Right outcome, but still a general search condoned by sloppy writing.]
