Can I hack into a government computer and download their stuff? How about a bank’s computer?
If not, why not? They have no reasonable expectation of privacy.

Do games and internet on one computer and anything important on another not on line.

They need a warrant to tap my phone but not my computer? Venezuela here we come.

The FBI did not need a warrant to hack a US citizen's computer, according to a ruling handed down on Tuesday by Senior US District Court Judge Henry Coke Morgan, Jr. Do this judge's first. Put some kiddie porn on it.

Our government is the potent, the omnipresent teacher. For good or for ill, it teaches the whole people by its example...If the government becomes a law-breaker, it breeds contempt for law; it invites every man to become a law unto himself; it invites anarchy.
Justice Louis D. Brandeis, from his dissent in Olmstead v. United States, 277 U.S. 438, 485 (1928)

I was under the impression that Windows 10 erased all privacy.

Obama complained that the Constitution was a document of “negative rights,” because it limited what the government could do.
Obama’s solution? Ignore the Constitution, but he really doesn’t need to, what with judges like this.

US Federal Judge rules that FBI does not need a warrant to hack into your computer and search it remotely. . . because you do not have an expectation of privacy because hackers can hack into it. Isn't that the same as ruling you don't have an expectation of being safe in your house from government intrusion without a warrant because burglars and other criminals can break in and rifle through your papers? Uh, yeah, it is. PING!
Judge Rules Expectation of Computer Privacy
Does Not Exist!

Big brother is always watching. Not a surprise.
"The rise of computer hacking via the internet has changed the public's reasonable expectations of privacy," he wrote. "Now, it seems unreasonable to think that a computer connected to the web is immune from invasion. Indeed, the opposite holds true: In today's digital world, it appears to be a virtual certainty that computers accessing the internet can -- and eventually will -- be hacked."This is akin to a judge ruling that because some people who know how to use lockpicks can break into your house, you have no reasonable expectation that locks will keep people out of your home, so government agents can just break into your home any time, on their slightest whim.
The fact is that if someone has gone to the trouble to attempt to be secure on the Internet, then the government, with it's unlimited resources, must NOT be allowed to "hack" into systems without a warrant.
The simple fact is that governments, given their resources, are far more capable than the vast majority of "script kiddies" who do most of the hacking. And this judge just gave them the go-ahead.

Well, now we have the latest release of the US government’s “privacy policy”. The old version, issued in 1789, is no longer in effect.

Indeed, the opposite holds true: In today's digital world, it appears to be a virtual certainty that computers accessing the internet can -- and eventually will -- be hacked." Homes are broken in to everyday, no one should have the expectation that their home and property are safe. No one should expect that their property is theirs.
Hacking is illegal. What is illegal for and individual is illegal for government.
Just because my computer is connected to the internet does not put contents of my computer in the public domain. My computer is still in my home and my home and its contents are immune from unreasonable search and seizure.
It the FBI wants to search my computer they need a warrant.
