RI H7208

Requires law enforcement agencies to obtain a search warrant based on probable cause before accessing location information, stored data, transmitted data from electronic devices, or electronic information held by remote computing service providers

Mandates that law enforcement destroy any electronic data collected that falls outside the scope of the warrant in an unrecoverable manner as soon as reasonably possible

Requires law enforcement to notify device or data owners within 14 days of executing a warrant, with courts able to grant delayed notification for up to 30 days (extendable) if notification could endanger safety, cause flight, lead to evidence destruction, or jeopardize an investigation

Permits warrantless access to electronic data in limited circumstances: stolen device reports, owner consent, judicially recognized warrant exceptions, voluntarily publicized information, or emergency situations involving imminent risk of death, serious injury, sexual abuse, kidnapping, or human trafficking

Establishes that electronic information obtained in violation of the act shall be excluded from evidence under the same rules as Fourth Amendment violations
