NV: Neither a warrant nor probable cause is required to get CLSI information

Neither a warrant nor probable cause is required to get CLSI information. Taylor v. State, 132 Nev. Adv. Rep. 27, No. 16-12414 (April 21, 2016):

This opinion addresses whether the State’s warrantless access of historical cell site location data obtained from a cell phone service provider pursuant to the Stored Communications Act, 18 U.S.C. § 2703(d), violates the Fourth Amendment. We hold that it does not because a defendant does not have a reasonable expectation of privacy in this data, as it is a part of business records made, kept, and owned by cell phone providers. Thus, the “specific and articulable facts” standard set forth at 18 U.S.C. § 2703(d) is sufficient to permit the access of historical cell phone information, and probable cause is not required.
