The fourth amendment specifically requires a warrant to violate someone's privacy. In all of the cases at hand a warrant has been issued.
There really isn't a fourth amendment issue.
- studentrob 11y agoYou're right, and thanks for correcting me. I do still disagree with the District Attorney's statement. We can write something on a piece of paper and burn it, or think something in our heads, and keep it private. That this is now possible with digital communications via encryption is not a new right, it is simply a new means to protect that right. Further, Apple didn't invent encryption, and this statement further shows how little the DOJ understands about technology.
- wjy 11y agoVance seems to be confusing the right to privacy with the ability to actually enforce it. Apparently, a "right" to privacy is all well and good, as long it can be casually violated and a warrant served later. As soon as the mechanism protecting your privacy has real teeth, then it's a problem.
