Appeals Court: Email Protected by Fourth Amendment

Bret "4th amendment, what 4th amendment?" Alan isn't going to like this...


Police must obtain a warrant before accessing emails stored by internet service providers, a federal appeals court has ruled in a landmark decision that also struck down part of a 1986 law that allows warrantless interception of some digital data.

Email protected by Fourth Amendment, says appeals court


The courts should have been striking down this tyranny a long time ago, but you can't expect much from the foxes that are supposed to guard our constitutional chicken coop.

  2. I've been very busy with... well wouldn't you like you know, Mr. Privacy Advocate?

    I'll tell you what, I'll write a response to this explaining my position for the umpteenth time, and we'll see if anyone finally gets it. If not, at least it will garner comments calling me a statist and laughs can be had by all.
