Prosecutors are exempt from the law but defense attorneys are not. > Both GitHub and California courts are sticking by tech companies’ traditional hardline interpretation of an arcane 1986 privacy law the Stored Communications Act (SCA). While the SCA makes a provision for government entities, like the police, to demand electronic communications, it doesn’t make the same exception for civilians—giving prosecutors a leg up while kneecapping defense teams.
