Judges can order online records in child exploitation cases

Montana Supreme Court justices and district court judges can issue subpoenas in investigations of child sexual exploitation. An Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) task force officer must file an affidavit showing the administration of justice requires it. Subpoenas can order providers to give account holder name, billing and service address, email, username, phone number, IP address, account status, and payment source (credit card or bank account number). They can also require the method of internet access and automatic number identification records for modem access. An ICAC task force officer is a Montana peace officer assigned to the state ICAC task force recognized by the U.S. Department of Justice. This act takes effect upon passage and approval.
