A US court has determined that some of the FBI’s surveillance activities violated Americans’ constitutional 4th Amendment rights, in newly unsealed documents.
The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court ruled last year that the law enforcement agency improperly searched an NSA repository for information on Americans.
A ruling from the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court found that the FBI violated Section 702 by not keeping track of searches that pertained to “United States persons.”
The ruling was affirmed on appeal.
The documents were declassified on Tuesday.https://t.co/ZdF43b09pt

An October 2018 ruling from the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC) found that the FBI violated Section 702 by not keeping track of searches that pertained to “United States persons,” and that proposed changes were still not enough to comply with the law. That ruling was later affirmed on appeal in July 2019. The documents were declassified and released Tuesday.
