The Washington times published an article titled, “FBI digital search warrant plan a ‘monumental’ constitutional threat says Google.” The article discussed how google believes that the FBI is trying to remotely access computer files and allow judges to approve warrants outside their jurisdictions so they can severely spy on millions of Americans. The justice department said that the company google read into what they were doing wrongly and that any search technique they could use was already permitted under law the FBI is still pushing for the Supreme Court and congress to review a decision on Rule 41.
The article discussed misleading information from Google but if the FBI really was trying to illegally uses remote search warrants, it would have interfered with the 4th amendment. The 4th amendment gives people the right to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures. If what Google said was true, then the FBI would be violating millions of Americans’ rights to privacy and security.
The political cartoon shows two police officers trying to enter and search someone’s home. The police officers have a paper that probably represents a search warrant but it says, “But it’s okay if you don’t. -Supreme Court.” In the cartoon the officers say that they’re suppose to knock and announce before entering but the Supreme Court is saying that it’s okay if they don’t. The door they are trying to enter, is still closed because the person who lives there, believes they still have privacy rights from the 4th Amendment.
