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 😅

Strangely, it does seem to care about under-age people.
never did. us three-letter-agencies have been buying data to get around pesky laws for a while now.
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-

hey! Uncuff me! This is illegal!

Hey! Let me out of this car!

Where are we going!? You can't take me to 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!
Relying on the rule of law is reactive.
Ditching the phone is proactive.
Be Proactive.
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.
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.
They're not giving up. They're simply observing things that are happening.
Way to infer meaning, slugger.
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.
Wow, you really quickly forgot how you started this of with a condescending apathetic statement.
