The United States District Court for the Northern District of California ordered Google to turn over all electronically stored information subject to a search warrant, including the information that was stored electronically abroad. The Court reasoned that the Stored Communications Act regulates information in the service provider's – Google's – possession and because Google is headquartered in the U.S.  and the information will be accessed there, the disclosure was a domestic application of the SCA. It was irrelevant where the information was “stored”.
