Limit police stops, searches, arrests and surveillance
“Your Fourth Amendment rights don't expire just because the technology changes. The Constitution guarantees Americans the right to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, and law enforcement should have to get a warrant before invading that privacy, whether it's a filing cabinet or a facial recognition database.”
