Due Process Institute advocates for reforms to surveillance authorities under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act to better protect Americans’ privacy and civil liberties. This includes closing loopholes that allow warrantless searches of Americans’ communications and increasing transparency and accountability in national security surveillance.

Section 314 of the Patriot Act and its implementing regulations already give significant cause for concern and fail to adequately protect Americans’ Fourth Amendment and privacy rights. Attempts to expand this program through statutory or regulatory means are even more concerning. It is our hope that FinCEN will reevaluate the necessity and efficacy of the Section 314 program and ultimately abandon the practice of warrantless searches and seizures of financial records, or at the very least, adopt clear legal standards and procedural measures consistent with our foundational Constitutional rights.
Due Process Institute has thus far successfully OPPOSED past attempts at legislative expansions of Section 314 of the Patriot Act.
