Date sent: Fri, 27 Oct 2000 02:25:30 -0400 Send reply to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ================================================= ============== Privacy News Update: House strips out language allowing police to issue "administrative subpoenas" ================================================= ============== * DefendYourPrivacy supporters achieve big win on Capitol Hill Earlier this week we asked for your help in killing a proposal contained in The Presidential Threat Protection Act (HR 3048) that would have given police broad new powers to issue "administrative subpoenas." Almost immediately, Capitol Hill offices were flooded with thousands of angry phone calls from privacy advocates around the country. On Wednesday afternoon, the offending provisions were gutted from the bill. The overall bill passed, but without giving the government new power to subpoena your electronic records -- or force third parties to turn over that information. Thank you for your help, and please stay posted for further privacy updates.
