[QUOTE="cloudyplusplus, post: 1592791, member: 154310"] Re: 7-1 decision by the Supreme Court on this issue. One thing that the court has made very clear is that they do not understand technology and more importantly, the implications of technology on our lives and culture. Technology is moving so quickly, they simply can't keep up. I'm impressed that this ruling was as emphatic as it was. Another related issue to keep you up at night ... your employer can confiscate and forensically examine your personal phone, tablet or computer if (a) there is legal discovery going on, (b) they believe you might have something discoverable on your phone, tablet or personal computer and (c) you've ever connected to your office's network with the device in question. During examination, they can keep the device for as long as they need and though they need to protect any information that relates to the discover, they don't have any responsibility to protect your personal data.
