Graves Concerns

The U.S. Supreme Court has granted certiorari in City of Ontario v. Quon. That’s the new name for Quon v. Arch Wireless Operating Company, the Ninth Circuit case that found that a police officer had a reasonable expectation of privacy in his text pager messages.

This should be an interesting case to watch. For a discussion of how this case might affect privacy for government employees, see Orin Kerr’s post over at the Volokh Conspiracy.
