In suspected abduction cases, should Kansas require cell phone companies to help law enforcers immediately? The question - " posed before the Kansas Legislature yesterday - " involves a teenager found dead in ...

I am opposed to this bill. As tragic as Kelsey's murder was, this is just a knee jerk reaction and that is never a good reason to draft legislation. This law would cause all of us to give up our privacy rights. Judges are available 24/7 to issue warrants. The police should need a warrant to get cell phone records.

Joco Lib, I'm called a conservative by some, a moderate by some and an idiot by many, so I'm not sure what I am, but I have to agree. It doesn't take that long to get a warrant. That's just the sort of law that can by grossly overused and abused by over-zealous attorneys general. I can't quote him but Ben Franklin said somethig like, anyone who gives up his freedom for safety deserves neither.

I also have to agree, see Patroit Act.

Since the parents were so quick to say Kelsey was missing I think they must have had some reason to fear for her life. I do think people with great concern about abduction should sign up for a tracking service. Edwin Hall who abducted and killed Kelsey worked for a temp agency whose owner was involved in a copyright controversy. I believe Kelsey had relatives in publishing of music. Feud killing?
