    But, like, you can just buy books anytime. I mean I can go into a bookstore right now and buy any book in the place, even the kids section, and not even have to show id. If I go out and get some milk, it isnt even circumstantial evidence that I milked a cow.

      I agree. But at this stage they’re not trying to get the exhibit admitted into evidence. They really just need to match it against one of the categories of items listed in the search warrant.

      (Warrants shall describe the “place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.”)

      She has also challenged the warrant, trying to get her stuff back. I haven’t looked into the details on that.
