Posted by Orin Kerr: NINTH CIRCUIT PROBABLE CAUSE DECISION: The Ninth Circuit issued [1]an interesting ruling on whether the existence of records indicating that a suspect joined a child pornography website creates probable cause to search the suspect's home for illegal child pornography. I offer an analysis of the case for members of my computer crime update list [2]here. My basic take: the court was probably right on the question of whether probable cause existed, although its analysis is a bit quirky.
