You all better watch what text messages you send. Someone might be
reading what you wish someone wasn't.

what part of this is not understood?

"Prosecutors obtained the contents of the archived text messages by
sending a grand jury subpoena to SkyTel"

sound like there were no "rights" violated to me..

I don't know....this part bothered me somewhat:

"the acquisition of these messages by a grand-jury subpoena without a search
warrant violated his rights under the Fourth Amendment....  to the extent 18
U.S.C. Section 2703 of the Stored Communications Act authorized obtaining the
text messages without probable cause and a search warrant, it violated his
Fourth Amendment rights."

This part of the appeal was never heard by the court since the cops had enough
other evidence to overwhelmingly prove their case.....so it became moot.

But......

Since when does a grand jury subpoena replace a court ordered search warrant,
which would require probably cause??????

does a grand Jury subpoena need a search warrant?, I don;t see why.
but I'm no lawyer, if so and they get off over that "technicality" I'm
sure glad they didn't kill one of our kids, cause they could be
walking over it.
