Tattered Cover v. Thornton Reversed

Posted by chrisd on from the you-might-want-to-use-cash-to-buy-books dept.

TheMatt writes "In a victory for all those who like the First Amendment, the Colorado Supreme Court today reversed and remanded 'Tattered Cover v. Thornton'. The case concerned the Thornton police attempting to use a search warrant to gain access to the book-buying records of a suspected criminal. The Tattered Cover asserted First Amendment rights and refused to comply with the warrant. It is believed this will be heard by the US Supreme Court eventually." I can only imagine what the Tattered cover's legal bill must be like.

    JUSTICE BENDER delivered the Opinion of the Court.
