Introduced by Sen. Branden Petersen (R Dist. 35), SF33 stipulates that “a government entity may not obtain personal identifying information concerning an individual without a search warrant. A court order granting access to this information must be issued only if the government entity shows that there is probable cause for belief that the individual who is the subject of the personal identifying information is committing, has committed, or is about to commit a criminal offense.”
The legislation defines personal information as the “identity, location, or activities of an individual.”

Good luck with that. The feds will get what they want no matter what obstacles are put in their way.
They're not called the "National Security Agency" for nothing. The needs of the national security state trump the rights of any and all persons, including the several states. The only way to stop what the NSA is doing is to dissolve the national security state, but it's already too late for that:
I don’t want to see this country ever go across the bridge. I know the capacity that is there to make tyranny total in America, and we must see to it that this agency and all agencies that possess this technology operate within the law and under proper supervision so that we never cross over that abyss. That is the abyss from which there is no return.
Senator Frank Church
