Privacy bill would ban police from getting email and location data without a warrant

Privacy bill would ban police from getting email and location data without a warrant | The Verge
"Privacy advocates in Congress have introduced another bi-partisan bill attempting to amend decades-old legislation that has allowed police and government to search private data without a warrant.
The bill, called the Online Communications and Geolocation Privacy Act, looks to fix the severely outdated Electronic Communications Privacy Act of 1986 so that email and location data stored by third parties like Google or AT&T receive the same warrant protections as data stored on a personal computer."

The government can get this info TODAY WITHOUT A WARRANT!
