Let's see.

The proposed legislation would:


-enable police to access information on an Internet subscriber, such as name, street address and email address, without having to get a search warrant.

People have been able to do this with phone numbers for years. What's the big deal?


-force Internet service providers to freeze data on their hard drives to prevent subscribers under investigation from deleting potentially important evidence.

How does this differ from blocking off a crime scene or taking the books of a suspect business?


-require telecommunications companies to invest in technology that allows for the interception of Internet communications.

Sounds unfair to the companies. Idea is too vague.


-allow police to remotely activate tracking devices already embedded in cellphones and certain cars, to help with investigations.

Where I live, the body of a murder victim which had been left in deep woods was found this way. No doubt her murderer wished it hadn't.

However, this needs to be used carefully. More details are needed.


-allow police to obtain data about where Internet communications are coming from and going to.

This is awfully vague. Needs work. However, near where I live, a brutal woman made friends with a pregnant woman over the Internet. The brutal woman went to the pregnant woman's house, killed her, slit open her body, and stole away her tiny daughter. Law enforcement solved the crime in a few days by tracking back Internet communications. The child was restored to her family.

If the police are not allowed to track Internet communications, how can they investigate crime where the Internet is used?



-make it a crime to arrange with a second person over the Internet the sexual exploitation of a child.

Ya'll have a problem with this? I don't.
