Laws like the Bank Secrecy Act where passed specifically to state that 4A doesn't apply if the data is collected from a third party and not the individual directly. Nonsense but we're here.


BSA was an outgrowth of Third Party Doctrine was it not?

They already had law enforcement integration and judicial precedent dismantling the 4th Amendment.

they wrap themselves in the flag while pissing on the constitution.
