Durbin and Lee File FISA Bill With Warrant Provision

Sens. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., and Mike Lee, R-Utah, on Thursday introduced legislation that would require police to get a warrant before accessing U.S. communications obtained through foreign intelligence surveillance authorities. The Security and Freedom Enhancement (Safe) Act would require a warrant for law enforcement to access data obtained through Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act Section 702, which expires April 19. Law enforcement could still run queries without obtaining a warrant under the proposal.
