      "summary": "Proponents refer to administrative subpoenas as a quick, efficient and relatively nonintrusive law enforcement tool. Opponents express concern that they pose a threat of unchecked invasions of privacy and evasions of the Fourth Amendment warrant and probable cause requirements. \nThe courts have determined that, as long as they are not executed in a manner reminiscent of a warrant, administrative subpoenas issued in aid of a criminal investigation must be judicially enforced if they satisfy statutory requirements and are not unreasonable by Fourth Amendment standards. \nThe Child Protection Act of 2012, P.L. 112-206 (H.R. 6063) authorized the United States Marshals Service to issue administrative subpoenas in aid of tracking unregistered sex offenders.\nThis report is an abridged version\u2014without footnotes, appendixes, quotation marks, and most citations to authority\u2014of CRS Report RL33321, Administrative Subpoenas in Criminal Investigations: A Brief Legal Analysis, by Charles Doyle.",
