What this law does
Nevada bars any person, not only a peace officer, from installing or using a pen register or a trap and trace device without first obtaining an order from a district court, except as the federal pen register and trap and trace statute otherwise provides. Nevada's general default makes an act a statute prohibits with no stated penalty a misdemeanor.
