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?

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

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

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

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

    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.

    pardon me, sir, but this is illegal withou-

    click

    hey! Uncuff me! This is illegal!

    car door shuts

    Hey! Let me out of this car!

    vroooooom

    Where are we going!? You can't take me to jail!

    arrives at jail

    Dear family, they call this place prison, it looks like prison, and I've been issued what they're calling a "lawyer", but impossible as that may be considering they didn't have a warrant, I can only deduce that I've been kidnapped by a vigilante to a remote location pretending to be a prison!

    It’s endearing that you think that even matters anymore

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

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

    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.
