CDT Joins Coalition Letter Calling for Congressional Hearings on Fourth Amendment Is Not For Sale Act

/ Greg Nojeim

The Center for Democracy and Technology joined 50 other organizations in urging the U.S. House and Senate Judiciary Committees to hold hearings on The Fourth Amendment Is Not For Sale Act.

The bill, (S.1265/H.R. 2738), would curtail the practice of law enforcement and intelligence agencies purchasing personal information like location data from data brokers. The Fourth Amendment Is Not For Sale Act would also close loopholes in the Electronic Communications Privacy Act of 1986 (ECPA).
