@karmacondon, you argue that "If something is legal, ethical and moral then it doesn't matter if technology makes it easier to do or not," but I think sometimes - in situations such as this - technological advances can change

I think the reasonableness issue comes into play in two ways: First, its an objective test, which means reasonableness is based on factors such as democratic accountability, personal autonomy, threats of government abuse, etc. Second, it&#x

Yes, the concurrance is fantastic in general, and really hits the nail on the head of why location data needs 4th Amendment protections today: "[Location data] generates a precise, comprehensive record of a person’s public movements th

I think the main reason they're passing the bill in general is a genuine desire to deter smartphone theft, and the result is a very bad policy outcome. But keep in mind absent this law there is no mandatory kill switch in phones in the

The blog post gives a full discussion of the extent to which the kill switch can be co-opted by law enforcement, and I think does so in a fair manner. It directly references both the bill's requirements for police use and PUC 7908. You
