The headline leaves out the fact that law enforcement agencies are gearing up to fight those bills, too. They want to be able to buy information that would be unconstitutional to acquire otherwise.

Quoted from the article, from the National Sheriffs Association:
“The Sheriffs of this great country don’t often keep score on House amendments,” the letter read, “but on this one, we will keep score and know who our friends are by their votes against Congressman Davidson’s amendment, which empowers the cartels and further erodes the rule of law in our nation.”
Unsubtle, threatening language from a US law enforcement body?

yeah... a lot of ink has been spilled over there should be a Warrent requirement for the FBI but imo the data broker loophole is the bigger issue. NSA buys netflow data in bulk for petes sake.
