Officials said they wanted to search the phone of Samuel Tunick, a Stop Cop City activist, for child abuse material. It was actually because he was suspected of “terrorist activities.”

Seems like an odd thing to lie about as alleged terrorist activities also give them the right to search the phone.
Classic playbook, you’ll see it used everywhere if you look closely.
Need to decrease public support of someone? Push a fake story out that they abuse kids or had child abuse material.
It’s the same “think of the children” bullshit they use for removing abortion rights, healthcare privacy, internet anonymity, location tracking, and any other law enforcement abuses that come up.
Seriously, I don’t think they care one iota about public support on this one. He’s already in front of a judge.
I suspect they assume saying “everyone is a pedo” distracts from the actual pedo’s in charge
