Yes they can, I have had this experience myself. |

I don't know if they can just access it if they want to. They probably need a court order first. |

I dont know, doesn't it vary country to country etc? But I am wondering could they for example get Yahoo/google to let them look at their servers? I mean YOUR email isn't stored on your computer per se? |

Like most things, I assume they would have to get permission from my family or get a warrant from a judge. Assuming the latter, they would need probable cause that the emails are part of some crime. Given the situation, if they had some evidence that I was murdered and not just a suicide.
I was once contacted by a police detective who was investigating the apparent suicide of a kid who had used GameTZ. He was looking for information about when the kid has been on my site. I told him. He was just making sure there was no foul play (that it truly was a suicide). He said he hadn't found any evidence otherwise and was going to close the case as a suicide. |

no, i would think not unless they have probable cause of some sort or your family asks them to look. |

I don't know, but I'd imagine they would be able to. Cop shows do it all the time!  |

I'm pretty sure that they can legally access my emails if they have any reason to think that I might be involved in criminal activities. I'm pretty sure they also monitor emails for key words as well, without reading the whole content. |

Don't know, but suspect it would take a court order to do this? |

With a search warrant, yes. |

I don't know. It seems likely that they can, though. |

Apparently yeah, regardless the school computer fixer IT guy reads everyones Email, like a silly school girl would. |

I don't know, why don't you ask the cops. |
| Enigma | | posted 22-Sep-2007 12:14pm |
Sure, can't they? |
| JessicaWoman99 | | posted 24-Sep-2007 11:58am |
Yes they can get into your e-mails I think and for good reasons |

Yes on Law & Order CSI Miami I see those detectives getting into e-mails all the time

Sure, why not... They seize computers all of the time... Usually needing a court order |
