Federal Judge Allows Release of Cable Records
A Federal Judge in New York has ordered a cable company to provide a subscriber�s records to law enforcement officials without notifying the subscriber. The court held that the Cable Communications Policy Act of 1984 does not require notice to the subscriber before law enforcement receives information on when the subscriber accessed the Internet and the volume of data transferred over the cable connection.Cable-Based Internet Provider Cannot Reveal Federal Probe, New York Law Journal, August 23, 2001 (cookies required).
