Seems like a search for anything will now lead to suspicion for
anything convenient.

"Today, the Colorado Supreme Court became the first state
supreme court in the country to address the constitutionality
of a keyword warrant-a digital dragnet tool that allows law
enforcement to identify everyone who searched the internet for
a specific term or phrase. In a weak and ultimately confusing
opinion, the court upheld the warrant, finding the police
relied on it in good faith. EFF filed two amicus briefs and was
heavily involved in the case.

I heard about this - horrible news for anonymity, as if we have any at all these days.

The ramifications of case law like this will surely hurt the population and help the gov/corporations. Stupid.

I think it goes beyond privacy. Like the EFF stated, "Even
searches that refer to crimes or acts of terror are not
themselves criminal in all or even most cases (otherwise
historians, reporters, and crime novelists could all be subject
to criminal investigation). "

And, once the freedom for agencies to track and indentify
persons of those searches becomes common place, there will be
little any citizen could do except either NOT use searches, or
live behind a VPN for all internet activity.

Myself, I am not fond of doling out more money for internet
use.

The ramifications of case law like this will surely hurt
the population and help the gov/corporations. Stupid.

There can still be a chance to challenge a judge's decision.
Judge's are known to make errors.
