It's hard to believe something like this wouldn't fall under the fourth or fifth amendment.
There's an argument for a fifth amendment violation here.
Why doesn't the Fifth Amendment cover this?
Pretty sure that's in violation of the fifth amendment (self-incrimination).
Wouldn't the 5th amendment come into play here?
wouldn't the 5th amendment protect against that?
It's mentioned right in the article - Fifth Amendment
That's their 5th amendment rights.
Not a fan of the fourth amendment?
As a non-lawyer and not legally trained it seems like 1st amendment has nothing to do with this but 4th and 5th has everything. This is scary. It means the 4th and 5th amendment has no power with these devices?
