My knowledge of US criminal law is limited to what I&#x27;ve grokked from watching crime tv shows, so I&#x27;m not clear on the definitions of some terms.<p>Does a search warrant imply that the person being searched will be notified? I know that a court has to approve the request, but wanted to confirm if it means that the person under suspicion is informed. The way the article contrasts this new law to the current ECPA seems to suggest this is the case.<p>Additionally, the article mentions requests made to service providers. What if I host my own server? Is it just a case of the law agency making the request to my hosting company, or are they required to contact me to get the information?
