I will preface the latter and note that I did not find any substance in these arguments, for reasons that I will detail below. I will first describe the relevant facts, followed by the legal analysis. The factual description will be based to a large extent on what was claimed in the defense summaries, on the assumption that these indeed reflect reality, even with respect to information that was not placed directly before the court, such as the number of search warrants issued, the wording of the warrants that were not submitted, and the scope of the security cameras seized. According to the details there, as part of the investigation, security cameras were collected from 43 different locations throughout the country, some from private businesses, some from private homes or individuals, and some from public places such as municipalities. It also stated that for the purpose of seizing the cameras, six combined orders were issued, four that were eventually submitted to the court file, and two others that were not submitted.
All of the orders bear the title "Combined Order - Search of the Place and Penetration of Computer Material", in accordance with sections 23 and 23A of the Criminal Procedure Ordinance (Arrest and Search) [New Version], 5729 - 1969 (hereinafter: "the Judicial Order"). The four orders that were submitted were all issued on August 28, 2022, in the Rishon LeZion Magistrate's Court, and in each of them the court was asked to permit "the seizure of cameras anywhere within a radius of 5 kilometers" from a certain location. The first order relates to the deceased's place of work in the industrial zone in Holon [P/168], the second to the defendant's home, i.e., to the family compound on Mordechai HaYehudi Street in Ramla [P/169], the third to the location of the Mitsubishi in the parking lot of the League of Nations in Jaffa [P/170], and the fourth to the scene of the murder in Ben Gurion Square in Lod [P/171]. Each of the orders was also requested to "examine all the computer material found during the search in order to locate computer materials related to the investigation," and it was clarified that the search at the site would be conducted in front of two witnesses, while the penetration of the computer material would be conducted without witnesses. Each of the orders was attached to a zoning ordinance, which describes in general terms the area included in the application. After reviewing and marking some of the investigative materials, the court was convinced that the requested warrants were necessary to advance the investigation into a murder case, and allowed the wanted person to do so, along with a directive that "if possible - copy on the spot." To complete the picture, two additional orders will also be mentioned, which were claimed to have not been submitted, one of September 5, 2022, for the seizure of all the security cameras within a radius of 2 km from the address of Korei 11 in Haifa, and the other of September 22, 2022, for the search of cameras within 3 km of a certain landmark, the nature of which has not been detailed before us [paragraphs 123 e-f of the defense's summaries].
