Proposal to require police warrant for email snooping advances in Senate

The Senate Judiciary Committee on Thursday unanimously adopted an amendment that would require police to obtain a warrant before reading people’s emails, Facebook messages or other forms of electronic communication.

Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.) authored the amendment, which was added to a House bill, H.R. 2471, that loosens video privacy regulations.
