The issue isn't whether he actually had porn
The whole point of disallowing evidence gathered from illegal searches is to discourage illegal searches. If a simple record of a download from an open Wi-Fi point can trigger a search, then all any law official would have to do in order to get permission to search your home and seize your computers would be to download child porn through your open Wi-Fi point from their car out in front of your home. Once that door has been openned, even if they don't find child porn, other evidence of other crimes such as misstating your taxes can become the basis of other charges. Even if they don't find anything, the RICO laws make it so that in order to get your computer and other property back you have to sue the government. Just the fact that they couldn't prove their case is NOT enough for you to have your property returned.
