## Resource

Law enforcement needs a warrant to walk into your house, but they can pull years of your emails, location data, and private messages without one. @NaomiBrockwellTV breaks down how a 1970s case about how a telephone booth (and the "third party doctrine" the courts built on top of it) became the legal foundation for modern digital surveillance, and how it carries over poorly into big tech companies like Google. Plus: explaining "bailment" as a better model for the digital age.
