  • Submits a constitutional amendment to Missouri voters at the November 2014 general election (or special election called by the governor) that expands protections against unreasonable searches and seizures to include electronic communications and data.

  • Requires any warrant to access electronic data or communications to describe the specific data or communication to be accessed with the same specificity required for physical searches, and mandates probable cause supported by written oath or affirmation.
