IRS: We don't need a warrant to read your emails
The U.S. tax authority believes it has the right to read your email without a search warrant during its investigations. Documents released under a Freedom of Information request by the American Civil Liberties Union suggest the IRS could either exercise its power to read the emails of taxpaying (or non-tax paying residents as the case may be) across the U.S. or only within the Sixth Circuit, depending on whether it follows the court ruling or the wider Fourth Amendment rights held by U.S. residents and citizens across the country.

The IRS said in a statement to NBC News on Thursday that respecting the rights and privacy of taxpayers "are cornerstone principles" for the IRS, but did not clarify whether or not the Fourth Amendment protects against such apparent snooping powers.
