Summary

AI-generated summary — verify against full text

The Surveillance Accountability Act amends federal law to require a warrant based on probable cause for all government searches that significantly impinge on privacy or security, with limited exceptions for plain-view observations, ID verification, and lawfully public information. The bill explicitly requires warrants for access to third-party data held by financial institutions, telecommunications providers, internet service providers, and data brokers, regardless of user consent or third-party cooperation. It also creates a federal civil right of action allowing individuals to sue government officials and federal employees for Fourth Amendment violations, with potential recovery of attorney's fees.
