But critically, "polite requests" is not in that list. The 4th does not prohibit CVS from telling the police whatever they want to. Nor does it prohibit the police from asking. It only prohibits the police from taking the information by force.
- argiopetech 3y agoA required subpoena goes a bit beyond polite request. The 4th doesn't mention force, only prohibiting "unreasonable" action. That we've allowed "reasonable" searches to include "subpoena CVS's central database" and dilute a fundamental guarantee of privacy from federal government is a failure of the citizenry, which is what this article points out and what the lawmakers mentioned in the article are trying to correct.
