Isn't it an individual who is accused of a crime that has the right to
due process?  Trespass in a computer system is, well, criminal, so
if you can monitor the criminal, you do not risk getting the wrong guy,

Don't get me wrong, I'm for the Bill of Rights, but it seems like this
may be a different issue.
