The following words are from a recent MELIBS posting:
I agree that the USA PATRIOT Act "that allows law enforcement to
>come into a library and request records without a search warrant" is
>unconstitutional, or at least it should be.
Hopefully, the courts will feel that same way.
A court order is necessary for records to be obtained according to one of
our State's Assistant Attorney Generals. If someone has found other
information, I would like to forward to the A.G. for a reaction. Many
thanks!
