Evidence rule

This page is public-interest research. An argument grade is not a court finding. A watchdog page describes the device. It is not proof a Nevada agency bought it or turned a feature on. A product description is not a Nevada practice. Agencies are not merged: the City of Las Vegas Department of Public Safety, the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department, the Clark County School District, the City of Reno, and the Nevada Department of Public Safety stay separate. A hotlist hit is not a confirmed crime. Legal review of this page is unverified.

What it does

A DNS query log records the site names a resolver was asked to look up, which shows which sites a connection tried to reach. It is not the page the person read. Providers and resolvers hold the logs. Police seek them by legal process.

Privacy watchdog concerns

No watchdog page is attached.

Constitutional issues

Unresolved question

Fourth Amendment, First Amendment, Nevada Constitution art. 1, § 18

Warrant practice not established for a Nevada agency

DNS query logs: No Nevada DNS-log program is documented. A log of site names can reveal lawful reading and association. That is a question. No case in this library decides it.

No decision in this library decides DNS query logs. Carpenter is not applied as a holding about domain lookups.

Statutes attached to read, not findings.

  • NRS Chapter 239. Nevada public-records law is the route to ask for contracts, policies, and logs. Citing it is not a finding that a surveillance practice is unlawful.
  • Nevada Constitution art. 1, § 18. State search-and-seizure provision. This page does not quote the section. No section anchor was verified. It is listed only where a search question is actually implicated.
  • 42 U.S.C. § 1983. A civil remedy for a deprivation of federal rights under color of state law. It is not a warrant statute, and it does not itself make a surveillance practice unlawful.
  • 18 U.S.C. §§ 2701–2713. Stored Communications Act provisions for some provider-held records. Attached only to stored communications or carrier records, as the statute to read. Not a finding of a violation.
