Why do "expectations" of privacy figure so prominently in this? Is it not about rights? Like as in Bill of?
If I walk down a street in a bad neighborhood, I may or may not "expect" to be mugged, but regardless of what I expect, or what anyone placing bets on me expects, I have the RIGHT not to be mugged.
Edit: In other words, mugging is a crime and unreasonable searches & seizures are crimes.
Know what else gets me about this "expectations" bit - it's ass-backwards. Like "hacking happens a lot, therefore hacking is okay." Well, armed robbery happens a lot, therefore that judge has no reasonable expectation of not being robbed at gunpoint - it's totally fine everybody!
For that matter, the child porn they're trying to stop happens a lot. If you're going to be consistent you now have to say no child has a reasonable expectation of not being exploited.
The law is not a weather vane that swings depending on whichever way people want to break it!
