allowed by the federal guidelines, the states do have the right to
create stricter privacy laws and that's what it looks like Florida
has.
According to the ACLU, in Florida they require a specific subpeona for
the information they want and in this case, the investigators just
used a general search warrant.

So while the original post by Sam was a bit inflammatory and slightly
wrong in it's representation of the general privacy expectation, it
does look like there is a more nuanced legal privacy case at issue
here.
