Volodymyr Kvashuk v. United States
FourthAmendment CriminalProcedure Privacy
Whether the Ninth Circuit's analytical approach in weighing "the nature of cybercrime" into its assessment of nexus to search one's home violates the Fourth Amendment due to (1) its generalized, universal treatment of all electronic devices, regardless of their mobility and/or connection to one's house; (2) its automatic justification of law enforcement's invasion of one's home based on unfounded presumptions; and, (3) its injection of the vague, troublesome concept of "cyber crime" into the nexus analysis, which prejudices the public at large with ambiguities in law and discourages the public's technology use?
