He is. And he certainly says that a lot.

But whenever I read him at the Volokh Conspiracy, inevitably he seems to come down on the other side.

Check out some of his GPS / 4th Amendment analyses. For a guy that claims to be a civil libertarian and for a guy that claims to understand tech, he sure comes down awfully frequently on more expansive powers for search and seizure and miss the obvious civil liberties and technology issues.

And I appreciate what he writes, and it can be very illuminating to me as a non-lawyer, but I have often been struck by how much this critic of CFAA and civil libertarian isn't.
