humble3d Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 Justice Alito Says SCOTUS Is Clueless On New Tech......Which Makes Privacy Cases Even HarderAnother change in the past decade has been constitutional protection for privacy. During the past ten years, the Court has applied the Fourth Amendment’s prohibition against unreasonable search and seizure to modern technology. I think this is going to be a very big issue moving forward.These are just some of the issues that may come up. The problem is that in making determinations we are put in a position of determining what is a reasonable expectation of privacy. We are very ill-positioned to make these determinations…. We are not up on all the latest technology. If privacy is to be protected in the future, that balances the interests of law enforcement and the interest of privacy, legislatures should take the lead. They are in a better position than the courts.— Justice Samuel Alito, in comments made this weekend as the keynote speaker at the Federalist Society’s Texas Chapters Conference at the George W. Bush Presidential Library in Dallas.http://abovethelaw.com/2015/09/justice-alito-says-scotus-is-clueless-on-new-tech-which-makes-privacy-cases-even-harder/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtmulc Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 Legislatures aren't known for being tech-savvy, either. How many congresspeople have we heard proudly proclaim they never use e-mail? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
