More BS

By Dan Sewell

Federal investigators overstepped constitutional bounds by searching e-mails without a warrant
during a fraud investigation related to an herbal supplement company known for its "Smiling Bob" ads, a federal appeals court ruled Monday.

The ruling by a three-judge panel of the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upholds a lower court ruling temporarily blocking investigators from additional e-mail searches in the case against Steven Warshak, owner and president of Berkeley Premium Nutraceuticals.

Warshak, whose company markets supplements that include a "natural male enhancement" product called Enzyte, argued that his Fourth Amendment protections against unreasonable searches and seizures were violated when the government went after his e-mail records.

"The district court correctly determined that e-mail users maintain a reasonable expectation of privacy in the content of their e-mails," Judge Boyce Martin said in a case closely watched by civil-liberties advocates in the still-emerging field of Internet privacy.
