    Social media is changing the way we communicate and the way we are
    perceived, both positively and negatively.  Every time you post a photo, or
    update your status, you are contributing to your own digital footprint and

    "Digital Privacy Bill Still Abandons Probable Cause for our
    Papers."
    
    By MARK J. FITZGIBBONS, OPINION CONTRIBUTOR - 08/01/17 08:00 AM
    EDT
    
    The bipartisan ECPA Modernization Act of 2017 introduced by
    Sens.  Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.) and Mike Lee (R-Utah) is a welcome
    correction to a legislative flaw in the Fourth Amendment
    protections of emails stored in the cloud.  Because of a law
    created before the cloud came to be, emails stored longer than
    18 months could be accessed by government agencies without a
    warrant signed by a neutral judicial officer after presentation
    of probable cause of unlawful activity.
    
    Citing the most basic Fourth Amendment protocols against
    warrantless access to emails, the bill was introduced under the
    premise of fixing that flaw for these older emails in the cloud. 
    The bill, though, still leaves open probable cause-free access
    to emails and other "papers" through use of judgeless
    administrative subpoenas.
    
    The warrant provision of the Fourth Amendment protects
    Americans' right of security in their persons, houses, papers,
    and effects, which was judicially construed in the 20th century
    as protecting "privacy." It is a fundamental line of defense
    against a police state, requiring probable cause submitted under
    oath and affirmation in advance of a search conducted via the
    writ of a warrant.  This antecedent process for writs to search
    protects Americans' security against unreasonable government
    intrusions and trespasses, and should naturally apply to digital
    "papers," which include emails, photographs, and other
    electronically stored documents and records of individuals,
    businesses and nonprofit organizations.  A rule of construction
    in the ECPA Modernization Act that is entirely inconsistent with
    the sacrosanct warrant and probable cause provisions of the
    Fourth Amendment is that it "shall [not] limit an otherwise
    lawful authority of a governmental entity to use an
    administrative subpoena authorized by Federal or State statute."
    
    Administrative subpoenas, also called "civil investigative
    demands," are search writs issued by government agencies and
    state attorneys general or prosecutors to disgorge private
    papers.  They may be issued without probable cause, and require
    no before-the-fact review by neutral judicial officers.  They
    may be enforced in court under threat of contempt and other
    penalties, and courts give Chevron deference to these writs,
    meaning the issuers of them may in large degree determine the
    scope of the laws they claim to be enforcing.
    
    In these regards, administrative subpoenas are worse than the
    general warrants banned by the Fourth Amendment after America's
    colonial experience with the Writs of Assistance, which in fact
    helped foster the American Revolution.  The Writs of Assistance
    targeted colonial merchants, but were at least issued by judges
    who could determine that legitimate laws were being enforced. 
    These colonial Writs required returns before judicial officers,
    and government searchers were subject to legislative penalties
    and even private lawsuits for exceeding the scope of the
    judicially authorized searches.  Some colonial judges even
    refused to issue these Writs when government officials refused
    to provide facts under oath.
    
    The administrative subpoena regime abandons the requirement of
    probable cause both before issuance by the searchers themselves
    and in after-the-fact judicial hearings to enforce them.  Unlike
    the general warrants under which judges determined the scope of
    the searches in advance, although leaving the persons,
    businesses, and places to be searched up to the discretion of
    the government searchers, administrative subpoenas may be issued
    based on flawed interpretations of the law and without
    independently verified facts indicating law may have been
    violated by the targets.
    
    Administrative subpoenas therefore lack the separation of powers
    found even in the Writs of Assistance regime.  The discretion of
    searchers under the administrative subpoena regime is therefore
    broader and in many ways more dangerous to the Fourth Amendment
    right of security than the Writs of Assistance.
    
    The Boston Globe recently reported that the American Civil
    Liberties Union of Massachusetts is calling out the "explosion
    in the use" of these "sanctioned fishing expedition tool[s],"
    and how some state prosecutors have refused to disclose how many
    they issue.  This mirrors my own experience with one state
    attorney general who ducked a Freedom of Information Act request
    about the quantity she issues, claiming "attorney-client
    privilege" among other excuses not to comply.
    
    Administrative subpoenas are in fact impossible to reconcile
    with the Fourth Amendment.  The very premise of the ECPA
    Modernization Act is that government may not violate the
    security of private records unless a judge has issued a warrant
    after hearing probable cause under oath that facts indicate a
    law is being broken.  Government officials will exploit this
    expressly sanctioned loophole in the bill and subpoena emails
    directly from their targets in this probable cause-free
    administrative subpoena regime.  Neither digital nor hard
    records will be safe from unreasonable government searches and
    compelled disgorgement.

    More Information about the FidoGazette:
    
    Fidogazette is published by Janis Kracht, Editor.  
    
    If you have an idea for a column or a series of articles, please
    contact me :)
    
    Subscriptions: Mailing-List subscriptions via
          http://www.filegate.net/sub.html
    
    Or you can always link into your uplink and use Tick or a tick
    compatible program.
    
    Where to Send Your Articles
    
    Unlike most editors, I surely do not  mind running my mouth when
    there is a sparsity of articles for the 'zine.  I'd MUCH rather
    you sent in material...  lacking that, I will fill these issues
    with my meanderings and thoughts and hopefully we will grow into
    something of consequence here :) Write an article!
    
    If you WOULD like to submit an article, feel free to drop your
    article off at:
    
     Email attach to address: janis @ filegate.net
     
     Fidonet attach: 
      Janis Kracht at 1:261/38 
      Modem: 607-200-4076
      Binkp: 1:261/100 filegate.net port 24555 
      telnet mailer: filegate.net
    
    If you are using routed Fidonet mail, don't send articles as
    routed attaches.  They may fail somewhere along the path before
    getting here.  Send them instead in the body of your routed
    netmail to janis@filegate.net
       
    Give it a title, sign your name and network address if you have
    one or your email address and send it along!
    
    Don't worry about the format, I can take anything you send me
    and mutilate it further as you can see above.  Linux is nice
    that way (g).  Spell checking your own work will help though
    (something I'm typically guilty of (g)).
