Delayed-notice search warrants issued under the expanded powers of the Patriot Act, 2006–2009.
When it was signed into law six weeks after the attacks, the act made it easier to wiretap American citizens suspected of cooperating with terrorism, to snoop through business records without notification, and to execute search warrants without immediately informing their targets (a so-called sneak-and-peek). Privileges once reserved for overseas intelligence work were extended to domestic criminal investigations. There was less judicial oversight and very little transparency.Text and image from New York Magazine, via prima mangiare e dopo filosofare.
