CO: Judicial officer who leaked info about SW he signed was censured, but only after removal from office, a federal obstruction conviction, and disbarment

The respondent former judge told a friend to avoid a certain person when a drug task force search warrant was signed by him for the target. He was federally charged and pled guilty to obstruction of justice and was disbarred by the state for the leak. He was censured as a former judicial officer here. Federal sentencing awaits. In re Kamada, 2020 CO 83, 2020 Colo. LEXIS 1056 (Colo. Comm. on Jud. Dis. Dec. 7, 2020).

A DoD contractor using a government computer had no reasonable expectation of privacy in it. There was a signed user agreement and constant warnings on the screen. A password alone does not create a reasonable expectation of privacy. United States v. Wang, 2020 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 230419 (S.D. Cal. Dec. 8, 2020).
