Fluffeh writes "A story that is breaking on a number of sites is that CTIA (The mobile operators' industry association) is opposing a Californian law being proposed that a court order is required prior to disclosing personal information. The law seems to be in opposition to the federal governments attempts to wash away the last requirements to get at any information about citizens, but CTIA claims (PDF) "... the wireless industry opposes SB 1434 as it could create greater confusion for wireless providers when responding to legitimate law enforcement requests " The Electronic Frontier Foundation and the American Civil Liberties Union of Northern California have been arguing strongly for the bill which is to be voted on shortly."

Heading can be read two ways (Score:2)
Sorry, just quickly re-read the heading, and it can be read two ways, if accepted it should be corrected to make it clear that the telcos are opposing a bill that promotes the 4th amendment, not that they are opposing a bill in support of the 4th ammendment.
