“This is an important win for law enforcement and public safety across New Jersey,” said Acting Attorney General Christopher S. Porrino. “Anybody who has practiced criminal law understands the investigative significance of phone billing records, and the importance of being able to obtain them expeditiously while at the same time preserving the constitutional rights of subjects. Today’s ruling revises long-standing precedent in this state, and brings New Jersey more in line with federal law and the vast majority of state jurisdictions.”
