Report Offensive Message

If law enforcement wanted to read my e-mail
they would have to come to me, as I am my own e-mail administrator. It would seem to me in that case I can deny them access based on this passage from the Fifth Amendment, to wit -

nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself

Obviously they could issue a warrant and seize my server, but that would require following due process and showing that a criminal act may have been committed. Even then they can't compel me to divulge passwords or assist in retrieving my e-mail from said server.

Perhaps we all need micro e-mail/cloud storage devices that are owned and controlled by the individual. Power to the people!
