When Congress enacted the USA Patriot Act in 2001, it modified pre-existing surveillance laws which among other things, established the conditions under which the government could electronically monitor various types of ongoing communications within the United States in nonemergency situations. However in June 2015, the Senate passed the USA Freedom Act of 2015. The USA Freedom Act amended some of the controversial issues that arose from the existing USA Patriot Act of 2001.
Please take a position on whether or not you believe that these changes will have a positive or negative impact on the law enforcement community? What changes if any would you make to the current USA Freedom Act of 2015 and why?
