District Judge Concludes E-mail Not Protected by Fourth Amendment (But See Correction)

,----[ Quote ]
| The issue in the case is whether the 
| government must notify a person when the 
| government obtains a search warrant to 
| access the contents of the personâs e-mail 
| account. Judge Mosman concludes that Rule 
| 41 and 18 U.S.C. 2703(a) require the notice 
| to be served on the ISP, not the account 
| holder, as a statutory matter. He then 
| rules that there is no constitutional 
| requirement of notice to the account holder 
| because the Fourth Amendment does not apply 
| to the e-mails under the third-party 
| doctrine.
