People of GAG, Did you know that a new family law was passed making it a felony to snoop on a spouse's phone?

Its essentially its a reinterpretation of the ECPA (the electronics communication privacy act). Its now essentially a felony.

Good luck proving it, But on that same token, if one can prove it, Say hello to Jail time. In case anyone is curious the specific legal code is 18 U. S. C. 2515. But again, good luck proving it.

I did not know that. But it's not surprising that people in the government are finding more and more ways to keep their dirty laundry out of court.

[Gwendoline]

Seems stupid and unnecessary.

[worldscolide]

Yeah I'm against the government having that much control

[WowGIrl4ever]

That's crazy but okay

[worldscolide]

It's dumb. As if we need more government interference

[Agape93]

Ffs.

[worldscolide]

Yeah. In fact there was a lady in Texas that was charged with it, not only was she charged with it, her lawyer was charged with it. They basically self incriminated during court divorce court.

It's government over reach. I could see charging random person who stole a phone with that but not a spouse.

[Agape93]

That's beyond dumb. Checking your partners phone being bad at times? Sure. But a felony?

[Agape93]

I've done much worse and got just fines

[worldscolide]

Preaching to the choir, I'm not a fan of government over reach like that.

[Agape93]

Same. Tyrannical bullshit
