NEWS: Illinois House passes bill to ban warrantless cellphone tracking, 111-0 #privacy #illinois SPRINGFIELD, Ill., May 21, 2014 – An Illinois bill which would ban law enforcement from obtaining cellphone location tracking information without a warrant passed the state House on Monday. The vote was 111-0. It had previously passed the Senate by a 52-0 vote, but since the House made technical amendments to the bill it goes back to the Senate for a final approval. Introduced by Sen. Daniel Biss, Senate Bill 2808 (SB2808) would ensure that “a law enforcement agency shall not obtain current or future location information pertaining to a person or his or her effects without first obtaining a court order based on probable cause to believe that the person whose location information is sought has committed, is committing, or is about to commit a crime.” Any information gathered in violation of SB2808 would be inadmissible in the court of law. offnow.org/2014/05/21/illinois-house-passes-bill-ban-warrantless-cellphone-tracking-111-0/
