Government entities prohibition from requesting or obtaining reverse-location information
SF 1120 prohibits Minnesota government entities (like police departments and local agencies) from requesting or obtaining "reverse-location data" - information about the location of unnamed individuals' devices based on phone signals or Wi-Fi. The bill bans both direct requests to companies and court orders for this data, except during declared "sudden emergencies" like natural disasters or terrorist attacks. It also states that evidence obtained through illegal requests or orders cannot be used in any court case. Violating this law could lead to civil lawsuits against the government entity.
