EMail and IP unprotected by 4th |
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit released an amended opinion in United States v. Forrester.
On January 7th, the court stated that E-mail addresses and IP addresses remain unprotected as a Fourth Amendment matter, even in instances when the address (the e-mail address or the IP address) might "strongly indicate the contents of the communication." This preserves the courts opinion in regards to the distinciton between IP addresses and URLs. Maybe you should make it so the URL is yoru email addy? That would be interesting.
