U.S. Supreme Court approves changes to Rule 41 of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure. Judges can now issue warrants for remote access to electronic devices outside their jurisdiction. The change would allow the FBI to hack into any computer or network, literally anywhere in the world. Tech giants and civil liberties groups say the change also could run afoul of the American Constitution’s protections against inappropriate searches and seizures. Congress has time until 1 December 2016 to reject changes or make more changes to the rule.
