So am I, though not a criminal one :)

>The truth is, the founding fathers likely could not have imagined in their wildest dreams that we could have all of human history on a flash drive with us at all times. Trying to apply "how they would have thought" or "WWFFD" to every new technology is kind of insane.

While entirely true, i think, given the history around the fifth amendment, it would be quite a stretch anyway.

Sweet. I had to jump off last night, but I did some criminal appointments in both federal and state court to get some courtroom experience while fresh out of law school. Certainly not an expert, but capable of having a fairly deep discussion on search & seizure.

I completely agree with what you wrote above about how just because folks like you or I say "oh, this is/isn't legal" doesn't mean we agree with it.
