“It seems like we’re always addressing issues after the fact when it comes to certain government technologies and methodologies. It does make more sense to simply address it in a more universal way so that explicitly the protections of the Fourth Amendment are extended to electronic data.” - Minnesota State Senator and Bill Author Branden Petersen (R-35)

People must be secure in their electronic communications and data from unreasonable searches and seizures as they are currently secure in their persons, homes, papers, and effects. We live in a new digital age. Let our constitution, the living document that it is, reflect that.
