Surveillance won't stop and the warrants won't start. Now what?
I have to admire the double-dipping business model of private companies getting paid by local governments to setup surveillance cameras and harvest data. Then the same goverment will pay to get warrantless access to that same data.
is it just double-dipping the spending (this might be your point)
or it is actually doing an end-run around laws against governments doing the surveillance themselves, instead they get private companies to do it and then it's perfectly legal to buy the data
just like government buys cellphone tracking data and mortgage data from private brokers when there are laws blocking them doing it directly
I'm sure this administration will totally obey that without any enforcement or penalties and pardons awaiting
oh wait, it could still be renewed/recreated
> Democrats have refused to back an extension of Section 702 unless Trump reverses his decision to name Pulte as acting DNI
I guess it's their only card to play but still, how about no warrantless anything considering there's a Constitution and all that
Who enforces the Constitution? SCOTUS is capable of reinterpreting any Constitutional right you have and create carve outs for “national security” boogeymen.
