TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (March 10, 2021) – Yesterday, a second Florida Senate committee unanimously passed a bill that would ban warrantless location tracking and the use of stingray devices to sweep up electronic communications in most situations.

(Feb. 10, 2021) – Bills introduced in the Rhode Island House and Senate would ban the warrantless collection of electronic data and the use of “stingrays” to track the location of phones and sweep up electronic communications in most situations.

A bipartisan coalition of eight senators introduced Senate Bill 134 (S134) on Jan. 26. A coalition of five Republicans introduced a companion bill (H5319) on Feb. 1. Titled the “Electronic Information and Data Privacy Act,” the legislation would prohibit law enforcement agencies from obtaining “the location information, stored data, or transmitted data of an electronic device; or electronic information or data transmitted by the owner of the electronic information or data to a remote computing service provider without a warrant based on probable cause. ....
