CIPP-US - Government and Court Access to Private-Sector Information - Section 3.2

Describe FISA, the USA PATRIOT Act, and USA Freedom Act provisions that authorise intelligence-community access to communications and financial records.

Describe how FISA lets the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court approve electronic surveillance and business-record orders targeting foreign powers, and how the USA PATRIOT Act expanded these to include roving wiretaps and Section 215 collection. Recognise that the USA Freedom Act ended Section 215 bulk telephone metadata collection and added amicus curiae and transparency reforms.
