[BC] IT troubles

[Mike McCarthy]

4th Amendment applies to the government's actions in general. So your 
argument is invalid for the most part.

When an employee is on the employer's property using their equipment and 
facilities, the 4th Amendment very much limited in that situation to the 
employer's actions.

Don't believe...ask your attorney...

Paul Christansen...where are you?
