But Officer Garnand&#8217;s affidavit failed to establish probable cause to believe that all these items were connected to criminal activity. The affidavit also failed to explain why evidence of a crime would fairly be found on any electronics. Indeed, the affidavit did not even mention the use of electronics in connection with any crimes. We have found similar warrants unconstitutionally overbroad. See, e.g., United States v. Kow, 58 F.3d 423, 427 (9th Cir. 1995); United States v. Hill, 459 F.3d 966, 976 (9th Cir. 2006); United States v. Cardwell, 680 F.2d 75, 77 (9th Cir. 1982). Thus, the Second Search Warrant was unconstitutionally overbroad.\u201d The officers don\u2019t get qualified immunity because they didn\u2019t properly plead it on appeal. <a href=\"https:\/\/cdn.ca9.uscourts.gov\/datastore\/memoranda\/2023\/09\/29\/22-16236.pdf\">Moore v.
