In the wake of the NSA revelations, there has been an avalanche of state bills requiring law enforcement to obtain a probable cause warrant
before tracking an individual’s location in an investigation. Most
state legislators know they can’t control the NSA—but they can control
their state and local law enforcement, which are engaging in some of the
same invasive practices. The trend actually started in the wake of the
ACLU’s nationwide public records requests on location tracking and the 2012 U.S. v. Jones decision, when Montana and Maine enacted the first two location tracking laws in the country—the recent revelations have simply increased the momentum.
Working closely with our lobbyists in state capitols around the
country, we’ve been tracking this activity and working hard to make sure
these privacy-protective bills become law. The chart below shows the
current status of state legislation as we understand it. We will keep
this chart up-to-date as we receive new information.
