"The Sixth Circuit held today that a federal statute allowing the government to read a criminal suspects e-mails without first obtaining a warrant is unconstitutional. Under the Stored Communications Act, the government may require an internet service provider (ISP) to disclose any of its client's e-mails that have been stored for over 180 days. These e-mails may be obtained without a warrant, and without meeting the probable cause standard which normally limits government seizure of evidence."
