    This is illegal without a warrant. And judges have been denying broad sweeping warrants that would cover such situations.

      We are in different times. This administration doesn’t care about warrants.

      arrives at jail

      Dear family, they call this place prison, it looks like prison, and I’ve been issued what they’re calling a “lawyer”, but impossible as that may be considering they didn’t have a warrant, I can only deduce that I’ve been kidnapped by a vigilante to a remote location pretending to be a prison!

      Pretty sure this kind of thing has been illegal since before Edward Snowden became a whistleblower, tbh. The US Government hasn’t cared about people’s privacy and the laws surrounding it for decades.
