Re: Reading your spouse's email?
I hope I can adequately relate this to the theme here. When I took a computer crime class, I learned that if a suspect refuses the police from accessing password protected areas of a computer, the police can simply ask the spouse or homeowner for this access and it be granted. The computer where the crime was committed is in the home of both people and even passwords do not prevent a spouse from having legal ownership and authority.
In another view of that same argument, any website accessed from a company computer can be retrieved and examined by the owner of that computer (the company) and all passwords are null and void. There is no privacy. It was done on property that did not belong to that individual so that makes anything done on it accessible by the management of the company. In fact, my professor said he'd been hired numerous times to go into an office after-hours and access a certain computer and snoop around to see what could be found and of course he brought along hacking tools to gain access to anything he needed to and it was the company's legal right to allow this. He said he had helped get fired many people and more than once have somebody arrested when it got into actual crime jurisdiction (at that point of snooping, you have to immediately stop where you're at and call the police and then inform the company management that from this point on, you are no longer able to proceed with anything until the proper legal authorities grant permission to proceed or they send in their own guy).
