LANSING, Mich. – Michigan voters will decide in the November election if electronic data and communication should be considered personal property, safe from unreasonable search and seizure. The ballot measure would amend the Michigan constitution to include electronic data and electronic communications as items law enforcement would require a search warrant to access. Michigan is not the first state to try to legislate for reasonable cause and a search warrant to obtain electronic data. In a committee meeting in October, he said third-party companies can forward electronic data to law enforcement, avoiding the requirement of a warrant.
