The court ruled that the seizure and data extraction of a mobile phone did not constitute a search and seizure under Danish law. The prosecution argued the actions violated privacy rights, while the defense contended the measures were limited and necessary for investigation. The court decided the specific actions lacked the requisite scope and intrusiveness to qualify as a full search and seizure.
