    @Jim Buckley Barrett: or perhaps he has personal and business information that he doesn’t want the world to see as the prosecutors in the states love spilling the personal details of celebs into the media

    @Jim Buckley Barrett: he might be quite willing too, but the warrant maybe required to allow any evidence obtained to be used in court

    Police in New Mexico have issued a search warrant for Alec Baldwin’s phone. The search warrant, requested by Santa Fe sheriffs, authorizes police to review all text messages and photos on the actor’s iPhone, as well as any stored location data, as part of their investigation.

    Judge David Segura, a magistrate in Santa Fe, approved the request on Thursday afternoon.

    The investigator, Detective Alexandria Hancock – referred to in the warrant as the ‘affiant’ – said that they requested Baldwin hand over his phone, but the actor and his lawyers said that they require a warrant first.

    @liam: What are the chances that since October 21st, Alec Baldwin regularly deletes all content on his phone as a security measure?
