The laws don't really stop it either. The 4th amendment in the United States hasn't prevented huge dragnet style data collection and partnerships with private entities to provide access to whatever data the government wants.
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.
...Now that you have me thinking about it...sigh... Yeah. I think I see where you are coming from. Funny how you can take an Act name, and map the actual outcome to the exact opposite of what the name would imply in layman's terms.
