South Carolina ACCESS TO STORED COMMUNICATIONS is a program overseen by the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division (SLED) that allows law enforcement officers to access stored communications, including emails, texts, and other internet-based communications. This program is intended to help law enforcement investigate crimes by providing them with access to information that may be pertinent to an investigation. There are two main types of South Carolina ACCESS TO STORED COMMUNICATIONS: court-ordered access and voluntary access. Court-ordered access is used when law enforcement officers must obtain a court order to access stored communications. Voluntary access is used when law enforcement officers have consent from the user to access stored communications.
