Eighth U.S. Circuit Validates California Law Requiring Obedience to Out-of-State Warrants

The Eighth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has held that a suppression motion was properly denied in a case where a man exchanged sexually explicit images with a 15-year-old and was caught after Snap, Inc., located in Santa Monica, and Google, headquartered in Santa Clara County’s City of Mountain View, provided records, in obedience to a search warrant, leading to ascertainment of the defendant’s identity.
