Gidari Quoted in NPR Story on Cell Phone Ruling

Perkins Coie Partner Albert Gidari was quoted Thursday morning in a story on NPR's "Morning Edition" about this week's appeals court ruling regarding warrant requirements for cell phone records. The decision from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit stated judges have the right to require warrants before law enforcement officials can obtain records that may show a cell phone customer's location.

A recognized authority on the Wiretap Act and the Electronic Communications Privacy Act, Mr. Gidari is a frequent commentator on electronic surveillance issues. He testified before the House of Representatives Committee on the Judiciary, Subcommittee on the Constitution, Civil Rights, and Civil Liberties, on May 5, 2010, regarding ECPA reform and digital due process.
