In a filing, prosecutors have said that they are currently extracting data from locked phones seized from over 100 alleged rioters:
In new filings, prosecutors told a court in Washington, DC that within the coming weeks, they expect to extract all data from the seized cellphones of more than 100 allegedly violent protesters arrested during the inauguration of President Donald Trump. Prosecutors also said that this search is validated by recently issued warrants. [...] "All of the Rioter Cell Phones were locked, which requires more time-sensitive efforts to try to obtain the data," Jennifer Kerkhoff, an assistant United States attorney, wrote.

As someone who was very recently involved with political movements, which is what it is - if you know a person who is genuinely angry, then you know a person whose anger has been genuinely compromised by his/her favorite political movement - the organization is real. Believe me, 10 people can be passionate about having a beer party on a weekend but it is almost impossible for 10 people to get together on a weekend without a person taking charge of planning. So there is always planning. Secondly, it is impossible to not know that, with emotions running that high, and with all the recent data pointing to masked hooliganism and property damage/rioting, that something unsavory won't happen! If you actually look at the videos of riots, you will find tacit support of the violent elements in the protest. The violence happens, and suddenly the masked asshole vanishes behind a crowd and the crowd openly claims nothing happened.
Now on to the topic at hand, I am personally torn between a well policed state and an unpoliced state. Let us see what they find. I am very sure there is nothing stopping the state in putting down its foot, the left has worked very hard to make that sure.
