Abstract: 

Courts around the United States have been considering the constitutional and other legal limits on law enforcement’s power to restrict and monitor Internet access as part of probation or parole. As courts weigh probationers’ Fourth Amendment and other rights against the government’s need for effective monitoring of convicted sex offenders, certain issues and legal principles are beginning to emerge from the case law. This article discusses those issues and principles. A review of relevant statutes appears in the next article.
