Fourth Amendment Restoration Act

This bill would end the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978 and change how the government can watch U.S. citizens. It would require government officers to get a warrant before doing electronic surveillance, searching property controlled by a U.S. citizen, or targeting a U.S. citizen to gather foreign intelligence information. The bill creates criminal penalties for people who break these rules on purpose or who share information they know was gathered illegally. It also says that information about U.S. citizens collected under certain intelligence programs cannot be used against them in court cases or investigations.
