Support Legislation to Safeguard Against Warrantless Surveillance
To: Rep. McCollum
From: A constituent in Saint Paul, MN
April 27
The proposed legislation offers a crucial safeguard against warrantless surveillance, a practice that infringes upon constitutional rights. It mandates a court order for the disclosure of customer or subscriber records, ensuring due process. Furthermore, it prohibits the use of illegitimately obtained information as evidence, reinforcing the principle of justice. The legislation also requires minimization procedures to limit the acquisition, retention, and dissemination of information obtained in violation of these provisions. This is a significant step towards protecting the privacy rights of individuals. Therefore, it is imperative to support this legislation to uphold constitutional rights and ensure the privacy of citizens.
