State law is one thing, but to me it seems obvous that "his or her right to be secure in their papers" has been broken.
Edit: Unfortunately the founders formulated that as a limit on government, again not actually succeding in securing any rights.
We need to have an honest conversation and additional amendments as to limitations as to businesses incorporated with the State should have imposed on them. They are clearly apart of what anyone would call "the state" IMHO.
The usual solution outside the US is to not mention the state at all.
All you need is a right to privacy, not a list of those who are not allowed to peek
There is a difference between the of power the state and larger corporations can exert to get "consent" to waive our rights, hence the need for unwaivable (or near unwaivable) rights.
This idea of treating corporations the same as people is why when you accept EULAs it's treated the same as if you agreed to agreeing to let a person you know to have the same info.
This must be illegal in states where one or two party consent is required for wire tapping though, right?
