I always check CNN everything to see what is happening in America or the world. I came across a article this morning about a texting privacy case that is going to the supreme court. Pretty much to some it up a government employee a cop in this story was using his phoen to make racy texts. His job got the text records from the phone company and he got in trouble for it.
The debate is can your phone service provider give out your personal texts to your employeer without your permission. I am kinda split on the issue. In this case he was using a company phone for personal texts and excedding the limit. He did pay for the overages but I can understand where the police department is coming from. On the other hand they were able to retrieve his personal text messages without his permission and that may fall under the illegal search and seisure. I do believe we must have some sort of privacy especially on things liek text messages that are ment for a 1 person to 1 person contact.
I feel that there needs to be a really extreme circumstance for your employeer to be able to pull your records without your consent.
