I was recently asked why there appears not to be any 4th Amendment protections at International Ports of entry. In U.S. v. Montoya de Hernandez, the Supreme Court held that federal agents can stop and search a traveler at an international border (or international airport) even without a warrant or reasonable suspicion of the target's wrongdoing.

Recently, this same logic has resulted in the unfettered search of electronic devices at borders. Agents have even required a password for electronic devices. The practice of demanding passwords and maintaining the electronic devices is currently being challenged.

The Louisiana State Supreme Court found that when an accused asked for a "lawyer dog" it was not an unambiguous invocation of his right to counsel.

One would wonder: What if he requested a "lawyer, dog" instead of a "lawyer dog?"

Or, was his invocation equivocal either way because he prefaced his alleged assertion with "if y'all think I did it..."

Here is the entire rip from the record: ""if y' all, this is how I feel, if y' all think I did it, I know that I didn't do it so why don't you just give me a lawyer dog cause this is not what's up."
See, State v. Demesme, 228 So. 3d 1206, 1206, 2017 La. LEXIS 2519, *1, 2017-0954 (La. 10/27/17).
