So I ordered a boat of bars for this kid cause he didn't know how to use bitcoin. Last night, he got shot up and killed. Can the cops go through his phone now that he's deceased or is that still illegal?
Homie got shot... Can they go through his phone?

I'm pretty sure they will go through his phone. And cops do illegal shit all the time anyway, so play it safe.

If they couldnt who would stop them the guys dead... Cops dont ask for permission but beg for forgiviness. Clean house, dont order, get a lawyer on retainer, plead the 5th be safe.

Well. It would go down like this. For court purposes, they need to attain a warrant to search the cell phone, and they will. No judge on earth would refuse a search request for access to the deceased phone. So yes they will search it, for information pertaining too the murder of the victim. Will they just ignore your drug deal? No. Is it legally going to incriminate you in any crimes? That depends, if these drugs that you allegedly sold him have to do with the murder, then yes you could very well be targeted. The homicide investigation will unearth the fact that you sold this young man drugs, they will find out if its involved in the murder, if it is they will target you. IF it isnt theyll hand the info off to the narcotics unit who will then begin to watch you. Theyre going to want to talk to you. Be polite. Dont offer any information in regards to what could incriminate you. Just tell them that this event is very very serious, and even though you have done nothing wrong, you would feel more comfortable speaking with an attorney present. In the mean time burn your house down and run naked down the street.

Well, that's some fucked up shit to have happen, although I wouldn't doubt it if drugs were involved in the motive. Because of that they'll be talking to anyone who'd been in contact with him recently most likely to find out if he had any enemies, was engaging in risky criminal behavior, etc. I would skip the fuck out of town and either get another cell or abandon it for a while altogether.
/u/BruceCampbell has a good point though. You seem more concerned about going to jail than the fact that you may have potentially sourced the shit this "kid" got murdered over. I've seen it over and over again. Dealers get a bit too arrogant sometimes and fuck over the wrong people thinking they won't know the difference and pop there goes your head. Its sad this dude got murdered period. Even if I just kinda knew the guy, I'll still be pretty bummed out I could have potentially even played a small part in the circumstances that got him killed

So uh, did you kill him?

Firstly. Yes, of course they are going to go through his phone, the guy got shot.
If I was you, what I'd be more concerned about is them going through your reddit account. Seriously man, you've posted where you go to school, where a fake ID was taken off you, that you were looking for a Xanax vendor and now this. OPSEC, OPSEC, OPSEC. Look it up and repeat until it sinks in.
Sorry about your homie.

you are now suspect, cops will say it was a drug deal gone bad or some shit.

Yes they can go through his phone. Try to rid yourself of all DNM related stuff and also try to clean house.

Pretty sure that they can slap you with a felony murder charge man... probably time to skip town/leave the country. They can absolutely look at his phone, and they would be dumb as fuck not to. There presumably is information on it or the phone records that would lead them to who he was meeting up with. And if you talked about the deal with him in plaintext or through texts (even iMessage) they will know that you supplied it.

Well he's a victim of a murder, so yes because it's now a crime scene and anything on a crime scene becomes evidence.

Maybe you're a suspect on his murder now. They can think it was drug related.
