A combination of two federal statutes allows investigators to get information on calls made from a particular phone recorded at cellular towers, a federal judge in New York has ruled. The case began with the government's request to use a pen register and trap and trace device -- which record numbers dialed to or from a specific cell phone -- in a criminal investigation. The ruling puts Judge Lewis Kaplan at odds with the majority of magistrate judges and two district judges who have considered the issue.

A combination of two federal statutes gives investigators the power to obtain information on calls made from a particular phone recorded at cellular towers, a federal judge has ruled.
New York Southern District Judge Lewis Kaplan said the Pen Register Statute, taken together with the Stored Communications Act, “clearly authorizes such disclosures,” even though there was “little indication” that Congress actually intended such a result.
