Worth noting, with the caveat that how criminals are treated could eventually become how everyone is treated on the right slippery slope:

provisions of his parole required him to surrender any electronic devices and passcodes

Unfortunately the judge also ruled that it's no different than forcing someone to give their fingerprints when you book them. If this sets a precedent, it could apply to anyone getting arrested, not just parolees / prior convicts.

Ole Donnie T is technically in parole right now. Would love to see this provision applied in that case.

Wow, that is supremely fucked up. Parole shouldn't require breaching the privacy of anyone who has conversation history stored on the parolee's devices.
