Smartphone checklist: House searches and confiscations

Smartphone security is particularly important for people who are at increased risk of house searches or seizures, as their devices store a wealth of sensitive information. This information is always used against individuals in investigations. House searches and seizures are unfortunately used in a very inflationary manner. These measures are often disproportionate to the accusations. Even a political message with washable chalk on a street can result in house searches. But you can also be affected as a witness without being accused of anything yourself. For example, because you are unknowingly in the same chat as a suspicious person. You should therefore definitely prepare yourself for house searches. Even if you always behave in a compliant manner.
