I'm a couple days behind on the thread and catching up, but I saw someone mention a possibly inordinate amount of electronic devices being removed when the warrant was served and it made me think about the devices my family has currently in our house. Me, hubby and our five kids.
1 working desktop
maybe some that don't work, not sure
3 working laptops
at least 4 non working laptops
6 working iPads
1 broken iPad
2 iPhones in use
3 retired iPhones
At least 5 or 6 digital cameras of various age and quality
Unknown number of usb thumb drives and SD/XD cards
ETA I forgot about the Xboxes, they're like a Microsoft PC hard drive in a gaming device and I think we have 3 altogether

As a comparison to your list, here's what my husband and I have as very tech-centric millennials:
- 2 working desktops
- 2 working laptops
- 2 broken laptops
- wii u gaming system
- 2 kindle tablets
- 2 smartphones in use
- 3 smartphones not in use
- 1 old school cell phone
- 2 digital cameras
- a large number of USB drives and SD cards
- 2 external hard drives
Okay, so I can see how they could have a large number of devices, at the time it just looked very odd. I think it was the number of bags I saw in the short clip. It looked like one officer was carrying 3 brown bags of stuff. Now obviously I can't tell what was in the bags or even how full they were so it's possible that each bag only had a few things in it. Also, the reporter stated that they were coming and going from the house for around 3 hours. For all I know, they only took out bags duing the time in that short clip I saw. There's really no way to tell unless I call up the reporter or the police and ask, lol.
Now, for a legal question, if the police were there to carry out a search warrant on electronic devices and they saw other incriminating/questionable things, could they take those things as well?
