Is it really that hard for the government to get a warrant for a suspected terrorist?
Is there any data on how often they're surveilling people without warrants vs with warrants?
This seems like important info to know.
Having data on illegal searches would require an insider leaking that information. Nobody has any semblance of a clue how much illegal data sniffing is happening, and it’s even more questionable since the USA and five eyes continues to degrade basic privacy.
But won’t someone think of the children!?
You're missing the point, in this case they don't even need the warrant at all. And yes, it is because you would have to ask a judge for each and every person surveiled and then provide a reason. They wouldn't have any reason for the drag net and would be denied.
