Home Computers Connected to the Internet Aren't Private, Court Rules

Well, I know what steps I take. My harddrive is encrypted, my camera is taped over (not disabled because I do still use it) I have a pretty decent router with Kaspersky built into it along with a decent firewall that is as effective as I can manage it to be. I know I cannot have a reasonable expectation of privacy because I do expect people to try and get into my computer. Not to attack me directly, but you know how information steeling viruses are, attack as many computers as possible and hope some have lax security or inattentive users.

That's not precisely what the judge said. He said something to the effect of "If you're connected to the Internet you should have no reasonable expectation of privacy."

"If your house is on a public street, you should have no reasonable expectation of privacy because home security is ineffectual at stopping thieves." - The logic is the same.
