PA Supreme Court Decides if Reading Email==Wiretap

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the this-won't-stop-here dept.

An anonymous reader noted that "Excite is reporting that the Pennsylvania Supreme Court is taking up a case to decide the question may police look at a suspect's email and instant messages without first obtaining a court order. The defendant, a former police officer, is also claiming his Fourth Amendment privacy rights were also violated. The outcome will only affect Pennsylvania but the issues at hand may eventually reach the US Supreme Court." Umm... Duh?

    You're confusing Pennsylvania with West Virginia.
