Q: If I am a nonviolent convicted felon that has completed my sentence is it unlawful for me to own multiple sd cards?
I was abiding by the law and pulled over. Blah blah asked if they could search . I obliged, knowing I was not breaking the law I saw no reason not too. Especially since they already knew my background info. They found nothing but a storage canister with micro SD cards inside . 30 total. They confiscated them telling me that it was suspicious to own that many SD cards and that they would have to review over them to determine whether or not I was breaking a law. Is this a profiling thing or are they within there rights to just take my property because of my background. My past charge was a facilitation of a drug deal schedule 2 under 0.5
A: Noting illegal about computer storage items. But you can be sure they will scrutinize all of them now. You should not have allowed a search without a warrant or an arrest. Call the Sheriff/Chief and ask for your property back. However your only recourse is to sue the Department for Conversion. It is probably not worth the effort of a GTLA.
