Supreme Court of the United States

City of Ontario, California v. Jeff Quon — Scalia, J., Concurring

June 17, 2010177 L. Ed. 2d 216

Summary

Justice Scalia concurs in the judgment, agreeing that the City’s audit of employee pager messages was reasonable and that the Fourth Amendment question is unnecessary. He criticizes the plurality’s “operational realities” test from O’Connor v. Ortega as standardless and argues the Court should not create new, case‑specific standards for emerging technologies.
