US House rejects FISA Section 702 extension, warrantless surveillance expires

My chosen interpretation is that they've let it expire because they've found enough ways to spy on us that they don't need it. Ranging from getting everything they need from advertising companies and Flock, to just ignoring the law and doing it anyway because they know it won't be enforced.

I have to admire the double-dipping business model of private companies getting paid by local governments to setup surveillance cameras and harvest data. Then the same goverment will pay to get warrantless access to that same data.

Surveillance won't stop and the warrants won't start. Now what?

I'm sure this administration will totally obey that without any enforcement or penalties and pardons awaiting

oh wait, it could still be renewed/recreated

> Democrats have refused to back an extension of Section 702 unless Trump reverses his decision to name Pulte as acting DNI

I guess it's their only card to play but still, how about no warrantless anything considering there's a Constitution and all that
