They not looking for just the evidence of the tweet, they looking for other incriminating evidence too, in case there are private collection - can add on a few other charges ma

I no legal expert - sometimes police use social engineering - they make you assume that seizing your phone is part of the investigation of the offence that you are being investigated. Some people being investigated like Zaid and some rights activists know their rights, they gip the popo the middle finger when the investigating office ask to take their phones.

We all experienced this - when popo pulled us to the road side, they will ask if we know our traffic offence will cause us to be fined a lot of money or need to go to courts (that was before this was really the case) so that you would be motivated to pay a small 'assistance fee' to wiggle your way out of that. They will try to exploit some of our Asian upbringing to conform to authorities or to avoid inconvenience.

Lol, I have 5.

Not many knows la, especially since this is alleged crime that was committed using a mobile device. So the phone is considered the evidence.

Dunno, it's like the weapon used in the a crime - the weapon will be taken in for evidence - that's my logic but this is wrong in this case when relating to MCMC/online laws.
