Bill > AB358

This bill amends the Electronic Communications Privacy Act to provide an additional circumstance under which a government entity can access electronic device information. Specifically, the bill allows a government entity to access electronic device information with the specific consent of an individual who finds a tracking or surveillance device within their personal property (such as a residence, automobile, or other personal belongings), when the device is reasonably believed to have been used to track or record the individual without their permission. The bill defines a "tracking or surveillance device" as an electronic device specifically designed to record audio or visual information or to track a person. This provision expands existing privacy protections by giving individuals a clear legal pathway to investigate and potentially seek information about unauthorized tracking devices found in their personal spaces. The amendment aims to protect individuals from unauthorized surveillance by providing a mechanism to investigate and potentially address such privacy invasions, while maintaining strict guidelines for government access to electronic device information.
