Wyoming Senate Files 12 and 80 2015 'Trespassing To Collect Data'
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In March 2015, the state of Wyoming passed new laws named Senate Files 12 and 80 (SF 12 and SF 80). These laws have the titles: "Trespassing to Collect Data" (SF12) and "Trespassing to collect data- civil cause of action" (SF 80). State Republican Marti Halverson said: "When a person trespasses to collect resource data, that person is not only trespassing - he is stealing data that is the property of the landowner."[1] It might well have created a new category of crime called "data trespass".[2]
