MT Supreme Court / Privacy Protection



“After the various parties acquired their parcels of property, their relationship went from cordial to contentious. Mastens were unsure whether Kaestner and Hernandez had legitimate water rights and Mastens claim the men would not provide proof of such rights. In fact, Mastens’ attorney subsequently concluded Kaestner and Hernandez did not have water rights and deemed them trespassers. The relationship worsened and ultimately became dangerous in April 2010 when Mike Masten accused Kaestner and Cesar of unlawful trespassing. Masten aimed and discharged a rifle near the men and  told them to get off his land.”
“Location Privacy Protection Act of 2011 - Amends the federal criminal code to prohibit a nongovernmental individual or entity engaged in the business of offering or providing a service to electronic communications devices from knowingly collecting, obtaining, or disclosing to a nongovernmental individual or entity geolocation information from an electronic communications device without the express authorization of the individual using the device.”
