- The Hill, Monday, April 22, 2013 9:49 AM
Congress will meet this week to discuss proposed legislation that would require police to obtain a search warrant to access the emails of private citizens. The Senate Judiciary Committee will go over the languages of the legislation onThursday morning and the House will also hold a hearing on the topic. Under the current rules, legislation that dates back to 1986, police only need a subpoena to read emails that have either been opened or that are more than 180 days old.
