PORAC Opposes H.R. 699 / E-Mail Privacy Act

Posted on April 12, 2016

On behalf of the Peace Officers Research Association of California (“PORAC”), the
nation’s largest statewide public safety association, representing over 66,000 members in

critical for law enforcement to ensure public safety efficiently and effectively. As written, H.R.
699 places an undue burden on law enforcement’s ability to gather digital evidence, providing Read More

Aaron Read and Associates (ARA) goes beyond the “breaking news” in the Legislature to provide an educated perspective on who is sponsoring new laws, who is writing them and what the chances are for success.
