Did anybody see this?

But the police had recorded a phone call between Fricosu and her husband in which she seemed to acknowledge ownership of the laptop and to reference incriminating material on it.

I'd like more details about this - without any clarification, this sounds extremely scary.

Presumably the phone call surveillance was under warrant.

It's also worth noting that they would have needed a warrant to seize the computer itself to begin with. The question is whether, having been seized, they can require her to decrypt it for them.

Without any clarification, this sounds like perfectly normal wiretapping. Is there any reason to think the police didn't obtain a warrant?
