This week we discuss United States v. Brinkman-Coronel, where the CAAF acknowledges that cellular phones are unique under the Supreme Court's Fourth Amendment analysis, but then presses on to treat third party consent to the search of a cell phone in the same manner as third party consent to search a brief case.  Disappointing.  We then hear from Captain Elliot Ko with a very thoughtful discussion of MRE 513 in regard to Family Advocacy records -- including seven specific suggestions for defenders.
