Employee Privacy, Employer Policy

As a law-enforcement-employed civilian IT manager, my informed opinion is that if there was no criminal wrong-doing (and no grounds for legal subpoena), the target employee still has expectation of privacy for his personal email. Even if there is overlap between work and personal email, I would say there is still a limit to what the company can do.
