ABSTRACT
When the U.S. Constitution was drafted, the idea of a networked world was not conceivable by the Founding Fathers. How could they know that one day Americans would conduct personal business, professional business, and entertainment activities from the comfort of one’s home? However, the Founding Fathers had enough foresight to ensure that the Constitution could be adapted to handle any possible advances in technology or changes in society. Today, the Fourth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution remains the focus of consideration when it comes to determining the admissibility of evidence from high-technology crimes. There may be a few misunderstandings or difficulties as the courts are still in the beginning stages of interpreting constitutional law in light of technology, but such changes are taking place every day.
