I'm sitting in the gallery of the Maine House of Representatives, listening to a lively debate about privacy.

LD 415, An Act To Require a Warrant To Obtain the Location Information of a Cell Phone or Other Electronic Device, would require law enforcement to obtain a warrant in order to track your location information via your cell phone. 

We all want law enforcement to be able to do their jobs - to be able to track someone who is missing in order to find them and to be able to track someone who may be the reason that person is missing. But we want them to have a warrant - with exceptions for emergencies and delayed notifications. 

You can listen in live right now and join me on the edge of my seat as I hope that the Maine House upholds important privacy protections in this day of technological advancements:

UPDATE: VICTORY! The Maine House voted 113-28 in favor of LD 415. It now goes back to the Senate for enactment.
