locate the vehicle, the company claimed that it could not give out the coordinates of the
vehicle due to the company's privacy policy; and
WHEREAS, in this incident the child was safety recovered and returned by
authorities yet potentially could have been found sooner with greater cooperation with
the wireless service provider; and

prohibiting this type of incident from occurring; and
WHEREAS, Sprint responded on January 25th stating they are further reviewing
what happened and they also indicated the restrictions and mandates placed on them
by federal, state and local privacy laws exacerbate the time needed to process such
requests for information; and
WHEREAS, Assembly Member Benoit and Assembly Member Garcia have
introduced legislation that would improve interactions between wireless service
providers and law enforcement during emergency situations where a life may be at
stake; and
