Indeed, I have no issue with the police having the power to read whatever data a warrant grants.

My problem is the linked page says:

> A DATA DISRUPTION WARRANT enables the agencies to “add, copy, delete or alter” data on devices.

Copy is fine, it’s the other three which are scary. Perhaps they shouldn’t be scary, perhaps they have well-defined meanings in law I’m just not familiar with (like how “Hacker News” has nothing to do with cyber crime), but I can only respond within the limits of my knowledge, and that seems scary.
