1236946	2011-10-12 03:27:00	Talk about Big Brother! The Governor in California, affectionately called 'Governor Moonbeam' has done it again . Beside the fact that he just authored a law that allows illegal immigrants to have financial aid to attend the college of their choice for free on the taxpayer's cuff to the tune of $45,000 USD per student/pre semester - when the legal citizens cannot even request an entry form for the same tax-dollar paid education::: FROM: SiliconValley . com Good Morning Silicon Valley Tech as government tools: Warrantless mobile-phone searches in California By Levi Sumagaysay Plenty of goings-on where tech, policy and the law meet . • California Gov . Jerry Brown is taking some heat from civil-rights advocates (among others) after his veto of a bill that would have required police to obtain warrants before searching suspects’ mobile phones . In explaining his decision to veto the bill, which was passed by most of the state Legislature, the Democratic governor reportedly deferred to the courts: “The courts are better suited to resolve the complex and case-specific issues relating to constitutional search-and-seizures protections . ” Last week, the U . S . Supreme Court let stand a decision by the California Supreme Court upholding warrantless searches of suspects’ mobile devices, which increasingly hold a trove of personal and potentially incriminating information . Wired quotes Orin Kerr, a Fourth Amendment expert who disagrees with Brown’s decision: “I think Governor Brown has it exactly backwards . It is very difficult for courts to decide Fourth Amendment cases involving developing technologies like cellphones . ” • Speaking of warrantless searches: In the U . S . government’s ongoing investigation of WikiLeaks, Google and another Bay Area company were asked to turn over information about Jacob Appelbaum, a supporter of the whistleblower website . Santa Rosa-based Sonic . net, an Internet service provider, reportedly tried to fight a secret court order obtained by the feds but lost . The Wall Street Journal, which first reported the story, writes that under the Electronic Communications Privacy Act, “it can be easier for law-enforcement officers to see a person’s email information than it is to see their postal mail . ” The court orders the government obtained did not have to meet as high a standard as a search warrant . The WSJ says it is not clear whether Google turned over the information sought by the government . Twitter has been fighting the U . S . requests for user information in relation to WikiLeaks since the end of last year . (See As U . S . pursues WikiLeaks, must Twitter turn over user data? . . . and Sweet for Twitter: Move to overturn WikiLeaks subpoena gag order praised . ) WikiLeaks has at different times released classified U . S . government information, including diplomatic cables . The United States’ pursuit of WikiLeaks is controversial . Ain't that the cake? The WHOLE cake? There were some other articles and paragraphs, but for the sake of educational material, I decided to not quote it here . This is just an excerpt from the whole article .	SurferJoe46 (51)
