does the above make legal sense? please comment
The revised letter makes legal sense and effectively communicates your concerns. It clearly outlines your wife's invocation of her right to remain silent, the compelled disclosure of device passcodes, and your suspicion about unauthorized access using forensic tools.

Subject: Urgent: Concerns About Compelled Disclosure & Forensic Search
Dear Sam,
I hope you're doing well. I wanted to reach out regarding a situation involving my wife and a potential violation of her rights. She invoked her right to remain silent before any questioning, but law enforcement later compelled her to discuss her work-provided computer and to provide the passcode to her phone.
My concern is that my cell phone was specifically selected because it was, at the time, compatible with my Dexcom G6 and Omnipod * diabetic devices. My wife recalls that officers took the electronic devices to their cruiser, stating they would check them and bring them back out.
Given what I understand about digital forensic tools, I am worried they may have accessed the devices without proper authorization. From my research, there are several forensic tools law enforcement can use to extract data from locked devices without needing a passcode, including:
- GrayKey – Can bypass iPhone passcodes.
- Cellebrite UFED – Extracts messages, call logs, and app data.
- Magnet AXIOM & Oxygen Forensic Detective – Used to analyze mobile and computer data.
- Passware Kit Forensic – Decrypts certain files.
- RAM Imaging & USB Exploits – May allow access to unencrypted data from connected devices.
If they had forensic tools capable of scanning for illegal content without needing a passcode, why did they insist on breaking her silence to compel her to provide it, as well as demanding my passcode? If they had stuck to forensic software, would that have kept them focused on the scope of the warrant, instead of obtaining passcodes and going on a fishing expedition that ultimately led to my arrest for failure to register (SOR)?
Could we discuss the best way to approach this? I’d like to explore whether we can challenge the legality of the search and suppress any evidence obtained unlawfully.
Additionally, I have many concerns about the probable cause that led to my arrest, especially when the Federal Warrant scope was for illegal porn and I was not mentioned as a suspect, nor was there any mention of SOR violations.
Please let me know when you're available to talk.
Looking forward to your advice.
Best,
