Edina police ask for whole city's Google searches, and a judge says yes

Edina police ask for whole city's Google searches, and a judge says yes | City Pages

The cops are winning. As detailed in a report from Tony Webster earlier this week, a Hennepin County judge has granted the Edina Police Department an extraordinary degree of access to citizen's Google history, as cops attempt to crack the case of an attempted wire transfer fraud.

    This is an absolutely unacceptable breach of privacy; I wonder if it's even constitutional, what with the fourth amendment and all.

      Well, Edward Snowden happened and basically nothing changed other than a new name on the most wanted list. Constitutionality seems optional these days.

    Wow. Will be interesting to see what Google does.

    Wow! That seems way too broad to stand. I am not a lawyer but that doesn't seem to meet the Constitutional specificity requirements. It also seems like they are searching for probable cause rather than basing the warrant on probable cause.

    I am all for catching the crooks but I am having a hard time with this one.
