Heads up! Legislative hearing scheduled July 9, 2013 on the bill filed by Senator Karen Spilka (candidate for MA-5 Congressional seat) and Representative Walz.

Tuesday, July 9 at 1:00pm
Judiciary Committee Hearing
Rooms A1 & A2
State House, Boston
Sen. Spilka & Rep. Walz: S.796; H.1684
This bill would require law enforcement to obtain a warrant to access our personal electronic information–details of our telephone use, our contacts, our location, and our email and other communication–from the telecommunications companies we pay for phone and internet services. It would bring accepted long-standing Massachusetts law and practices governing search warrants into the digital age.
And what if this leads to a “head to head” with the Stasi-designed rather fascist Department of Homeland Security ?
Bring it!
