Can Police Keep Your Cell Phone Forever?

Can the police keep your cellphone forever? Under Wisconsin law, yes. There is no expiration date on when the police are required to return property seized in connection with a search. Law enforcement agencies often have policies that require the return of property within a certain period of time (usually after the case is closed and time for appeal has expired). Those policies are not always followed. They are not self-executing. It’s on you or your lawyer to make sure you get your stuff back.
