Federal Court: The Fourth Amendment Does Not Protect Your Home Computer
https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2016/06/federal-court-fourth-amendment-does-not-protect-your-home-computer
In a dangerously flawed decision unsealed today, a federal
district court in Virginia ruled that a criminal defendant has
no "reasonable expectation of privacy" in his personal
computer, located inside his home. According to the court, the
federal government does not need a warrant to hack into an
individual's computer.
