Westbrook finds the district court properly denied Larry Flynt's Hustler Club's request to quash and unseal warrants used to seize property regarding allegations of prostitution, as disclosure may compromise the police's ability to further investigate. However, the district court erroneously denied the return-of-property motion without allowing the club to demonstrate privilege, and improperly adopted the police's search protocol, which allowed the forensics lab to disclose confidential communications to law enforcement based on its unilateral determination of privilege without affording the club opportunity to challenge this.
