The American Civil Liberties Union is taking a stand to protect cell phone records in police investigations.

Gurnal Scott: About 40 North Carolina police agencies responded to the national ACLU's question on how cell phone records were obtained.

The Chapel Hill town council failed to approve a cell phone ban on motorists at last night’s meeting.
