During the Jan. 8 hearing in Fulton County Superior Court, Fowler argued that a cellphone in King’s possession on the day of their arrest, which he characterized as a “burner phone,” should be admissible as evidence of wrongdoing, even though it contained no data. He went even further to suggest that not possessing a cellphone at all also indicates criminal intent. Judge Kimberly Adams agreed to admit evidence of King’s cellphone.

Decided to post in USPolitics general as this has wide reaching implications across the country.

You must look at it from the criminal AG's point of view: it's difficult doing real detective work. When you carry around a smart phone, it hands them your location 24/7, it tells them what you are doing and so on.

The AG is also trying to move the Overton window such that we accept that our phones track everything we do and it's necessary to have one on us at all times.

They really do want to make not having a tracking device phone on you illegal.

Once they mandate phones, they're going to have to loot the treasury because people will simply say they can't afford a phone.

They were close to mandating the phone by way the vaccine passport idea. If you don't have a phone you can't display the passport. Oh, but you aren't required to have the vaccine passport, you just can't go anywhere or buy anything without it. It's totally optional though.

The treasury is already empty. Over 40 trillion dollars since it doubled under Biden/Soetoro.
