According to CNET, law enforcement types want Congress to mandate internet server providers to store all text messages for two years and allow them to go fishing for evidence pretty much any time they want. I favor requiring the providers to erase text messages and email as soon as it it successfully delivered.
If law enforcement is investigating, they can obtain a warrant from a real judge and see any messages sent AFTER the warrant is issued. They should not have the right to go fishing thru every message you ever sent looking for something to hang you with.
Note to the wise. Never put anything confidential or incriminating in a text message. Your competitors, random hackers, and the cops will read it. And you will be toast.
