Acts in public are not protected. This, however is:
"The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
- stvltvs 2y agoPosting on a publicly accesible website is the legal equivalent of standing on the street corner having a conversation. A police officer doesn't need to search anything because it's out in the open.
- sixothree 2y agoYes. But you cannot follow a person around indefinitely.
- CodeWriter23 2y agoThat's the thing about exigency, it is temporary.
- sixothree 2y agoThen the metaphor is broken. So find a new metaphor.
- CodeWriter23 2y agoNah, that’s a malfunction of your reading comprehension.
- ImJamal 2y agoMaybe as an individual you cannot, but I don't see why a group of people (cops) couldn't.
- potato3732842 2y agoA conversation is ephemeral unless someone specifically goes out of their way to record it. That is not true by default for just about anything involving a computer and we all know it. Where's the line between obtuse and lying?
- rabidonrails 2y agobut in this case (to keep with the comparison) the people having the conversation are recording it themselves and posting it publicly.
