Protecting Citizen Privacy: Ending Mass Surveillance Without Warrants
This bill aims to strengthen the privacy protection of US citizens by requiring a court warrant for most surveillance activities. This means government agencies will have significantly more difficulty accessing citizens' data and communications, enhancing their security and rights. Any information collected without a warrant cannot be used against a citizen in court.
Key points
Repeals the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), which allowed broad surveillance without warrants.
Requires a court warrant for electronic surveillance, property searches, or collecting data on US citizens.
Information collected without a warrant cannot be used as evidence in criminal, civil, or administrative proceedings.
Introduces financial penalties and imprisonment for illegal surveillance activities.
