Electronic Communications Privacy Act of 2000

Summary

Electronic Communications Privacy Act of 2000 - Amends the Federal criminal code prohibition against the use as evidence of intercepted wire or oral communications to cover intercepted electronic communication and any stored electronic communication that has been disclosed. Requires that, within 30 days after the expiration, extension, or denial of a court order approving a disclosure of stored electronic communications, the issuing or denying judge must report to the Administrative Office of the United States Courts regarding such order. Sets forth reporting requirements by: (1) the Attorney General (or other specified designated officials); and (2) the Director of the Administrative Office. Modifies provisions regarding applications for a pen register or trap and trace device to prohibit the issuance of an order authorizing installation and use of such device if the device identifies an email address unless the court finds that specific and articulable facts reasonably indicate that a crime has been, is being, or will be committed and that information likely to be obtained by such installation and use is relevant to an investigation of that crime.
