I mean...is that not assumed to be the default? Cell phone surveillance is pretty much just business as usual in this country is it not?

[-] roofuskit@lemmy.world 131 points 1 month ago

This is illegal without a warrant. And judges have been denying broad sweeping warrants that would cover such situations.

[-] Pulsar@lemmy.world 112 points 1 month ago

We are in different times. This administration doesn't care about warrants.

[-] Anahkiasen 90 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

It honestly doesn't care about "illegal" much either 😅

Edit: for themselves of course! Everyone else...

*so long as the perpetrator is of an appropriate skin tone or works for a government agency

Strangely, it does seem to care about under-age people.

Pretty sure this kind of thing has been illegal since before Edward Snowden became a whistleblower, tbh. The US Government hasn't cared about people's privacy and the laws surrounding it for decades.

It’s endearing that you think that even matters anymore

[-] roofuskit@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

It's sad that people like you completely giving up are exactly why we are in an authoritarian slide.

[-] Sir_Kevin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 1 month ago

They're not giving up. They're simply observing things that are happening.

[-] lemmy_acct_id_8647@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Way to infer meaning, slugger.

[-] roofuskit@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

If you think law enforcement violating the law doesn't matter then I inferred nothing.

[-] lemmy_acct_id_8647@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I think they don’t give a fuck if they’re violating the law. Why don’t you get tf out of here with your self righteous bullshit kiddo.

Fucking infighting bullshit.

[-] roofuskit@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Wow, you really quickly forgot how you started this of with a condescending apathetic statement.

It’s endearing that you think that even matters anymore

You’re assuming the ICErs give a shit about warrants, and they often do not.

[-] eclipse@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 month ago

The US Government only gives a shit when they are caught. You'd have a damn hard time trying to prove mass surveillance to a court even though we all know they do it.
