(London.CityRegions.com, July 07, 2013 ) London, UK -- While the law has had problems keeping up with technology in recent years, that isn’t a problem in Montana, where lawmakers have passed a location information privacy bill, which requires police and other law enforcement to obtain a warrant with reasonable cause to use someone’s cell phone to track down their location.
United States Congress has been slow to act on issues such as these, Bills have been introduced to protect people’s privacy, but most have seen no movement in the Senate or House. The Supreme Court has yet to weigh in on the legal limitations of tracking location via a cell phone, but in 2012, it did rule that police must obtain a warrant before placing a GPS device on a suspect’s vehicle.
In Maryland last year, police obtained 221 days of cellphone location data for suspects. Those law enforcement officers obtained a court order from a magistrate, but that is not the same thing as a warrant.
This year, over a dozen states have taken similar measures as Montana, but most will not be discussed again until next year. So far, the bill hasn’t been enough in Texas, but a bill in Maine went to the governor’s desk last Wednesday. In Massachusetts next Tuesday, legislature is scheduled to hold a hearing on a new law that would require search warrants for location records as well as cell phone communication.
