Federal law enforcement agencies would be prohibited from using surveillance equipment or data collected by state and local police—such as cameras, license plate readers, or facial recognition systems—without getting a warrant first. The bill would create a list of covered surveillance technologies to clarify which tools fall under this restriction, preventing federal agencies from bypassing warrant requirements by accessing information that local authorities have already gathered. This would limit how federal agencies like the FBI can access surveillance data without judicial approval.
