Survey Of Washington Search And Seizure Law: 2005 Update, Justice Charles W. Johnson

Seattle University Law Review

This article serves as a source to which the Washington lawyer, judge, law enforcement officer, and others can turn to as an authoritative starting point for researching Washington search and seizure law.

Fourth Amendment Codification And Professor Kerr's Misguided Call For Judicial Deference, Daniel J. Solove Jan 2005

Fourth Amendment Codification And Professor Kerr's Misguided Call For Judicial Deference, Daniel J. Solove

GW Law Faculty Publications & Other Works

This essay critiques Professor Orin Kerr's provocative article, The Fourth Amendment and New Technologies: Constitutional Myths and the Case for Caution, 102 Mich. L. Rev. 801 (2004).

Rather, it tolerates both of these (and other) preferences about …


Nothing New Under The Sun? A Technologically Rational Doctrine Of Fourth Amendment Search, Stephen E. Henderson Dec 2004

Nothing New Under The Sun? A Technologically Rational Doctrine Of Fourth Amendment Search, Stephen E. Henderson

Stephen E Henderson

The Fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution prohibits unreasonable searches and seizures. Yet as interpreted by the United States Supreme Court, the Amendment places no restriction on police combing through financial records; telephone, e-mail and website transactional records; or garbage left for collection. Indeed there is no protection for any information knowingly provided to a third party, because the provider is said to retain no reasonable expectation of privacy in that information. As technology dictates that more and more of our personal lives are available to anyone equipped to receive them, and as social norms dictate that more and …
