"Electronic message" does not include: Voice mail or other data transmitted as a result of making a phone call, or data transmitted automatically without direct initiation by a person.
Exceptions to the law: Transmitting messages solely in a voice-activated or other hands-free mode, for obtaining emergency assistance, in the reasonable belief that a person's life or safety is in immediate danger or in an authorized emergency vehicle while in the performance of official duties
