A recent decision by the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals has provided a loud wake-up call to employers who wish to monitor employee communications. In Quon v. Arch Wireless Operating Co, Inc. et al., 529 F.3d 892 (9th Cir. 2008), the court held that the City of Ontario, Calif., violated the state and federal constitutional privacy rights of its police officers when it reviewed their personal text messages.
