SCOTUS struggles to find a search and seizure rule for the digital age
(Ars Technica): http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2014/04/scotus-struggles-to-find-a-search-and-seizure-rule-for-the-digital-age/
"Kerr suggests that the majority of the court seeks a rule that would
bring about what he calls an bquilibrium-adjustment, whereby the
present balance of government power is shifted from physical evidence
to digital evidence. Kerr however, argues that such a middle-ground
approach would not be easy to achieve in reality because of how
difficult it'd be to apply. Chief Justice John Roberts, in looking to
craft such a middle-ground rule for cell phone searches, suggested
that the court might seek to draw a distinction between public versus
private search information on a cell phone, hoping to determine what
the proper line is for an appropriate search incident to arrest."
