"The Maine Legislature [official website] on Wednesday voted 127-17 in favor of a new law requiring police to obtain a warrant to track a cell phone, overriding a veto byGovernor Paul LePage [official website]. The bill [LD 415 text] was one of four privacy laws up for vote in the final hours of the legislative period. LD 1377 and LD 1040 [text], laws requiring warrants in order to obtain the contents of a text message and to place surveillance equipment on private property, respectively, were also signed into law when the governor did not veto them during the statutory period of time. LD 236 [text], however, an act to protect private citizens from drone surveillance, did not rally enough votes to override the governor's veto."
