State v. Reid
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
State v. Reid, 194 N.J. 386, 954 A.2d 503 (N.J. 2008), was a criminal court case in which the New Jersey Supreme Court ruled that Internet service provider (ISP) subscribers have a reasonable expectation of privacy in the identifying information they provide to ISPs.[1] This case has helped place New Jersey at the forefront of the states committed to providing their residents with broader privacy protections than those available under federal law.[2]

The issues under the court's consideration were: 1) do ISP subscribers have a protected privacy interest in their subscription information; 2) how is it proper for law enforcement officials to gain access to that information; and 3) what is the proper remedy when law enforcement officials gain access to that information by unlawful means?[1]
