[QUOTE="n2sooners, post: 2212702, member: 26539"] Yet the courts do frequently base their decisions on what the author intended, but not often enough. But in this case (I have not read the whole law so I am just taking the story's word) it may be going against the letter of the law. If it really does require the requests to be 'relevant to an authorized investigation' then they are going against the letter of the law. Of course it's likely no one will have the courage to do anything about it even though most Americans are against the obvious abuse. Perhaps Verizon customers should start a class action lawsuit as that is the only way anyone is likely to press this. [/QUOTE]
