Cameron Earl Campbell v. United States

The police seized a traveler’s belongings (including his cellphone), waited six days to apply for a search warrant, offered no justification for one of those days and—for another—said they were excused from working on the warrant application because “it was Valentine’s Day.” The question presented is whether this delay was constitutionally reasonable under the Fourth Amendment, as the Ninth Circuit held, just because the delay wasn’t longer than six days and the traveler, who did not consent to his belongings’ seizure, did not demand his luggage back.
