The United States Supreme Court is set to hear some pretty important technology cases this year and the justices lack of technological understanding has some technology lawyers nervous. Most people under 40 probably would agree police should never have the right to rummage through our entire lives without a particular purpose based on probable cause,” Guardian Journalist Trevor Timm stated in a recent article. But the statements heard from the justices during oral arguments of a recent case seemed out-of-date and out of touch. Justice Roberts insinuated “that police might reasonably suspect a person who carries two cell phones of being a drug dealer.” Its a well-known fact that many professionals (from lawyers to small-business owners) might carry two cellphones. One for personal use and another for business. The American Civil Liberties Union would probably have a field day with that kind of profiling. Do statements like these reveal how out of touch the U.S. Supreme Court is with the daily life of the average American? Some technology lawyers in Utah like Micah McBride think so, and wonder whether their clients may be right to worry about whether the rulings coming from the highest court in the nation could be doing them a disservice. #technologylawyerinutah
