The General Assembly finds that the publication of the private contact information of certain law enforcement and judicial officers on the Internet unnecessarily endangers such individuals. This Bill is intended to provide law enforcement or judicial officers with the ability to demand that their residential addresses and other contact information be removed from the Internet and otherwise kept in a private manner. This Bill further provides for criminal enforcement of these protections and creates a private civil cause of action designed to enjoin and deter such violations.

An Act To Amend Title 11 Of The Delaware Code Relating To The Protection Of Law Enforcement And Judicial Officers.
