Giving out Facebook ID and password over recorded jail call to get password changed was waiver of REP in Facebook page

Posted on December 9, 2017June 25, 2025 by Dissent

From the this-doesn’t-seem-quite-right-to-me dept.:

Defendant’s telling someone in a recorded jail call that he knew was being recorded his Facebook ID and password so it could be changed. That was a waiver of his reasonable expectation of privacy in the information on his Facebook account that AFOSI could access. Defendant was awaiting court martial in a county jail. United States v. Langhorne, 2017 CCA LEXIS 746 (A.F. Ct. Crim. App. Dec. 5, 2017):

Doesn’t the defendant’s action in trying to change his password for FB show that he was concerned about protecting his privacy? If they had said to the defendant, “You realize you’re waiving any expectation of privacy because this call is being recorded, right?” what would the defendant have said? And more importantly, perhaps, what would he have then done? Would he have proceeded or shut up?
