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.


Sincerely,


Steve Dasbach
National Director
Libertarian Party

And now our records are all safe because we can trust the government to
never to do anything to us not authorized by law?

Well, maybe.  But don't bet your life on it. Don't even bet the farm.
