A police sergeant with the city of Ontario, California, filed a lawsuit which claimed, in addition to other legal causes of actions, that the City invaded his privacy by auditing his messages and finding explicit personal messages sent during work hours. This case garnered attention with media scrutiny due to the graphic nature of the text messages and alleged privacy issues. This case is appropriate for graduate and undergraduate business law, business management, and human resource management classes.
