A 2891 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Authorizes wiretap orders for investigation of luring or enticing a child, identity theft, stalking and cyber-harassment under certain circumstances.

This bill expands New Jersey's wiretap law to allow law enforcement to obtain court-approved wiretap orders for investigating four specific crimes: luring or enticing a child, identity theft, stalking, and third or fourth degree cyber-harassment. It adds these offenses to the existing list of crimes for which wiretaps may be authorized, requiring law enforcement to still demonstrate probable cause to a judge. The policy change affects law enforcement agencies and individuals suspected of committing these crimes, without altering the standard judicial approval process. This update aligns wiretap authorization with modern digital and interpersonal crimes while maintaining existing legal safeguards.
