Law enforcement officers must now get a warrant before reviewing a suspect’s emails and text messages under legislation signed Thursday by Gov. Jerry Brown.

SACRAMENTO, CALIFORNIA, UNITED STATES, October 14, 2015 /EINPresswire.com/ -- John A. Demarr, P.I. responds to the new law requiring police officers to obtain a warrant before searching emails, text messages and other electronic communications “To be sure the police comply with the new law you need to have a professional investigator gather all the facts as well as interview and record the witness statements right away”.

Law enforcement officers must now get a warrant before reviewing a suspect’s emails, text messages and other electronic communications under legislation signed Thursday by Gov. Jerry Brown.

Senate Bill 178, authored by Sens. Mark Leno, D-San Francisco, and Joel Anderson, R-Alpine, was among a raft of bills Brown acted on Thursday.

A diverse coalition of leading tech companies and civil rights organizations backed the bill, which some law enforcement organizations initially opposed. Google, Facebook, Apple and other tech giants have seen a surge in requests for data information from police. Brown vetoed a similar bill several years ago, so his position on the issue was unclear until now.

“For too long, California’s digital privacy laws have been stuck in the Dark Ages, leaving our personal emails, text messages, photos and smartphones increasingly vulnerable to warrant-less searches,” Leno said. “That ends today.”

DeMarr says. “Recording the version of events as recalled by the parties and other percipient witnesses is critical and important evidence. Our 30 years of experience makes all the difference – in the service levels and innovative approaches we can offer our clients. Many times our expertise results in a successful outcome where other private investigation firms have failed.”

John A. DeMarr, P.I., a licensed California private investigator since 1985, and president of John A. DeMarr Private Investigators, one of the few firms capable of handling such involved litigation.
