Judge: OK to use seized phones to impersonate you and entrap your friends
- vm 14y agoThis judge and the legal system don't understand that SMARTPHONES ARE COMPUTERS![1] Now consider the mess that is patent law, and suddenly I'm terrified by the lack of tech-awareness in our judicial and legislative systems. [1] Two reasons I say this: 1. Computer seizure generally requires a warrant and smartphone seizure appears to not require that 2. The rules of a pagers/phone number display are extrapolated to cover smartphones and texts/emails? Apples and oranges!
