alt Hacker NewsYes. But AFAIK, not an unconstitutional one. Wyden agrees with you:
> Wyden said buying information on Americans without obtaining a warrant was an “outrageous end-run around the Fourth Amendment,”
America needs privacy laws for this reason (or an amendment, but good luck). Vote when November rolls around; the other piece is finding Democrats that will take an actual stance on privacy closer to Wyden's.
I think that the problem is that it absolutely does violate the constitution, we just have judges willing to defend it and say otherwise even when it clearly allows for exactly what the fourth amendment was intended to prevent.
