Google search by employer not illegal, say judges

Google search by employer not illegal, say judges: "Does this decision give the green light for employers to start Googling their employees? Possibly. It appears in this particular case that the search only played a tangential part to the overall, much more serious evidence against the employee. However, the judges' decision does seem to say that the Google search was no big deal, leaving the question of whether Capell's decision would have been different had the search been conducted before finding out about Mullins' other infractions unanswered."
