Hack My Son's Computer, Please
by dc0de at 10:56 pm EDT, May 24, 2007

Can an elderly father give police permission to search a password-protected computer kept in his adult son's bedroom, without probable cause or a warrant? In April, a three judge panel of the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals said yes.

This week, the son's attorney, Melissa Harrison, an assistant federal public defender in Kansas City, will ask the court to reconsider the panel's ruling. At stake is whether law enforcement will have any responsibility to respect passwords and other expressions of user privacy when searching devices which contain the most sensitive kinds of private information.

Jennifer Granick posts a very interesting legal issue, that everyone on Memestreams should review...

If this isn't overturned by the 10th Circuit, there could be some scary ramifications stemming from this action...

Please, take a read...
