| Legislation designed to ensure quicker collection of digital evidence in investigations of domestic violence and stalking cases cleared the Assembly Judiciary Committee today. Specifically, Bill A5155 would amend the New Jersey Wiretapping and Electronic Surveillance Control Act to require expedited compliance with certain search warrants for information in these types of cases. Assemblywomen Marisa Sweeney and Heather Simmons sponsored the bill. “For victims of domestic violence and stalking, every day spent waiting for information can feel like an eternity,” said Assemblywoman Sweeney (D-Morris, Passaic). “We know that sometimes the most critical evidence is stored online, and when investigators can’t get to that information quickly, it can slow down the efforts in place to protect victims and stop abuse before it escalates even more.” Under the bill, when served with certain search warrants related to domestic violence, stalking, or violations of protective orders, social media platform providers would be required to respond within 72 hours. All other communications providers would be required to respond within five business days. To ensure these requests receive prompt attention, qualifying warrants would be required to clearly state “Immediate Response Required,” helping law enforcement more effectively investigate cases and better protect victims from ongoing harm. “Technology has transformed the way people communicate, but unfortunately it has also changed the way some people intimidate, harass, and stalk their victims,” said Assemblywoman Simmons (D-Cumberland, Gloucester, Salem). “When investigators need access to digital evidence that could help protect someone from harm, unnecessary delays have serious consequences. This bill recognizes that urgency and ensures such lifesaving information can be collected without additional delays.” The bill is modeled after Oregon’s “Kristil’s Law,” which was enacted after a Colorado woman endured months of stalking, harassment, and digital impersonation before being murdered by her husband. |
TSA launches remote screening pilot program at Boston Logan International Airport
On June 1, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) launched its latest initiative to enhance the traveler experience under the leadership of President Trump and Secretary Mullin: a first-in-the-nation remote screening option for passengers flying out of Boston Logan International Airport.
In partnership with the Massachusetts Port Authority, TSA has introduced this innovative pilot program with an inaugural remote terminal in Framingham, Massachusetts. Passengers flying out of Boston Logan on JetBlue or Delta flights between 5:30 a.m. and 4 p.m. are currently eligible for this new experience.
Instead of dealing with traffic at the airport, congestion at the checkpoint, and limited parking, these passengers can instead park at Framingham, check in, go through security, and take a bus directly to the secure side of their terminal.
