Kashfian v. Abrams

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• holding that nine-month-old evidence of “a single incident of access” to child pornography did not provide probable cause for a warrant to search the suspect’s home “absent any indicia that the suspect was a collector of child pornography”
• noting that a suspect could be a collector where he “accessed a single file of child pornography” and “subsequently redistributed that file to other users”
• explaining that “the good faith of officers relying on a search warrant” is a “legal determination[ ]” subject to de novo review
• noting lack of evidence that defendant ever clicked on a thumbnail link to view a full-sized image
• \[A prior holding by a district court cannot establish a binding principle of law sufficient to undermine an agent's good faith reliance on a later warrant.\
• evidence that \persons possessed child pornography in the past supports a reasonable inference that they retain those images -- or have obtained new ones -- in the present\
