Colorado upheld a warrant’s reverse keyword search for directions to a house. They claim the search warrant, which was overly broad and without individual probable cause, did not violate Google’s millions of US users’ fourth amendment protections, because the court said the police were acting in good faith under what was known about the law at the time.

    I believe SCOTUS has ruled that police officers have no duty to actually be familiar with laws/statutes while performing their job.

      Ah, OK, I see. Shoot first, ask the questions later.

      (But I guess the rule of law wants to have a word with these Scotuses)
