(CN) – California’s high court grappled Wednesday with just how much
privacy a public employee can expect when using a personal phone or email
account to discuss work matters, in the city of San Jose’s challenge of
whether the California Public Records Act should apply to unofficial texts
and emails that pertain to the people’s business.

“The critical question is always whether the information relates to the
conduct of the public’s  business. I think it is a fair rule to say that
when you’re talking about public business, conducting pubic business, or
doing something related to public business, that is probably going to be
subject to disclosure,” said Karl Olson, a lawyer for the California
Newspaper Publishers Association, an intervening party in a lawsuit.
