This demonstrates what I consider to be an abuse of the definition of “normal business records” in law enforcement.

It’s one thing when a BUSINESS is under investigation and their records (such as tax return, accounting data, expenses) are made available under a weaker standard for seizure, but it’s quite another when a business is forced to hand over data concerning an INDIVIDUAL who happened to do business with that company.

I.e., authorities can more easily get your phone data by calling the phone companies records of your calls as “normal business records”, but they are hot investigating the phone company, they are investigating you!

I'm a big supporter of the U.S. Constitution, but the last time I checked, it only apply's in the U.S. and it's Territory's (Guam, et al.) and 3 nautical miles (1 marine league, or 3.45 statute miles [5.5 km]) off the coast(s) of the United States.
