NSA has stopped collecting location data from US cellphones without a warrant

Sure they have.<p>&gt; Next month, provisions of the Patriot Act — specifically, Section 215 — are set to expire, raising questions about potential reforms. “Now that Congress is considering reauthorizing Section 215, it needs to write a prohibition on warrantless geolocation collection into black-letter law,” Wyden said in a statement.<p>How about just LET it expire!

There is still no mention of any of the conspirators being charged with wiretapping and going to jail - aka <i>the rule of law</i>. I didn&#x27;t think that after being caught, criminals could just pinky-swear to stop committing crime and be free to walk away. But apparently being on the DC-dole gives you that privilege. So there is no disincentive to just create a new illegal anti-American program that will take its own time to get through the courts.

Let me guess. They’re collecting the data, but hashing the cellphone unique identifier into some form that cant be reversed without a warrant?

You forgot to put quotes around the word &quot;stopped&quot;

“NSA has stopped breaking the law and violating the constitution”

Right.
