The chances of you breaking a federal law is just about 100% at some point or other due to how bloated the laws have gotten.
Have you gone to prison for it?
Doubtful.
Legalizing it is a red line, period. The snark about how "it doesn't stop them from spying" is true, but it makes it much more difficult to actually prosecute.
Which is why I said it stops them in courts, and not that it stops them from spying to begin with.
To be clear, we need to get the reins on this -- on said "easy warrants", and on spying. But the way to get reins on it is not to act apathetic to them spying regardless while they attempt to legalize it. The first step is to aggressively oppose that legalization. It is always harder to repeal.
getting a legal warrant is a trivial matter and has been for a long time.
Separate issue.
