Utah Bans Police from Searching Digital Data Without a Warrant, Closes Loophole
> In a concession to law enforcement, the act will let police obtain location-tracking information or subscriber data without a warrant if there’s an “imminent risk” of death, serious physical injury, sexual abuse, livestreamed sexual exploitation, kidnapping, or human trafficking.<p>A fairly reasonable exception which is then randomly extended to also cover prostitution and porn. Oh well.<p>I do have to question why they needed a specific emergency exemption for "livestreamed sexual exploitation" when that "exploitation" would not qualify as "sexual abuse". (If it were abuse, then it would already be covered under the exemption for sexual abuse!)
