The government does not have legal "access" to the data without a search warrant. Currently, criminal targets are pursued utilizing access granted for specific searches.This legislation appears to be giving the government possession, and/or at least carte blanche access, to data on all individuals.

It throws away warrants, probable cause and consent. It also completely limits redress of harm from any action under these statutes. If you can't understand the difference, there is no helping you.

What freedoms have we lost?

Any time the State is allowed ot usurp the Rights of anyone, we all lose the usurped Rights.

And that statement is coming from a former law enforcement officer. It isn't coming from some liberal disruptor.

This law would seek to remove the warrant requirement and that is something noone should be advocating.
