Christopher Brook for Threat Post, 3/8/13:
Two bills introduced in Texas this week could refine mobile privacy in the state and tweak how law enforcement can request sensitive information from cell phones going forward.
A press release from the Texas Electronic Privacy Coalition (TxEPC) credits Bryan Hughes, a Republican from the town of Mineola for filing one of the bills, House Bill 1608, on Monday. That bill would mandate that a warrant be obtained before “the acquisition of location information obtained from a wireless communications device.”
