Chances are you now live in a Constitution Free Zone. US Federal District Judge Edward Korman, has reaffirmed an Obama admin policy that grants officials the authority to search Americans’ laptops and other electronics without a warrant, citing a controversial premise that makes citizens within 100 miles of the border eligible for a warrantless police search. The decision came in Tuesday, more than 3 years after the ACLU filed suit against the policy. Almost two-thirds of the population (197.4 million people) live within 100 miles of the US border. Next it will be 200 miles from the border, then 300 and then only people that will retain their rights are those that are making up these totalitarian laws! ACLU attorney, Catherine Crump, had this to say about this controversial ruling: “We’re disappointed in today’s decision, which allows the government to conduct intrusive searches of Americans’ laptops and other electronics at the border without any suspicion that those devices contain evidence of wrongdoing,” she said. “Suspicionless searches of devices containing vast amounts of personal information cannot meet the standard set by the Fourth Amendment… Unfortunately, these searches are part of a broader pattern of aggressive government surveillance that collects information on too many innocent people, under lax standards, and without adequate oversight.”
