    Cybercrime Case Study Paper

    The Fourth Amendment can be applied to the Internet, computer, and cybercrimes, but it must be done very carefully. The protections that are granted by the Fourth Amendment should depend on the data. If the data is content, which means any kind of communications such as email, or any remotely stored files on a computer system, then the information is protected by the Fourth Amendment. However, if the data is non-content information, such as IP address and email addresses then those are not guaranteed to be protected by the Fourth Amendment. In 2012, a federal judge ruled that the computer of an individual is not protected by the rights granted under the Fifth Amendment. Many times cybercriminals will claim that their Fourth and Fifth Amendment rights were violated when investigators conducted the initial or follow-up investigations. One such situation is the court case United States of America v. Richard D. King, Jr. which was argued in the Third Judicial Circuit in 2009. In this case the defendant argued that his Fourth and Fifth Amendment rights were violated when the investigators served an arrest warrant for an accomplice at his residence.…
