Wouldn't it make sense to consider that, for instance, my dropbox or google accounts are amongst "my effects"? Yes, in a sense I'm handling data to a 3rd party

Yes, in a sense I'm handling data to a 3rd party, but in another sense they're just today's notebooks and drawers.

- dogma1138 11y agoNo, the EULA for those services is also quite explicative about this.
- rayiner 11y agoI haven't looked at these EULAs for a while, but didn't Google Docs' EULA basically reserve the right for Google to publicly display your document whenever they wanted? http://www.cnet.com/news/does-google-own-your-content http://www.cnet.com/news/does-google-own-your-content. Something like that would, in my opinion, squarely take something out of the scope of the 4th amendment.
- dogma1138 11y agoIt's tricky, basically once you have stored those documents on a 3rd party service you have effectively shared them with that party. The government can request or compel that party to disclose that information they do not have to go through you any more, this means that you can't claim 4th amendment rights as you aren't even "involved" in the process.
