US told to quit sharing data with human rights-violating surveillance regime. Which one, you ask? That'd be the UK

I noticed part of the complaint was the ability to side step the 4th Amendment of the US Constitution. What the real concern is not specifically the UK but that allowing another country to snoop can be a way to avoid the US Bill of Rights by the Feral DO(In)J and state level counterparts. Look what they found and they were so nice to tell us about it (wink, wink, nod, nod) with no US warrant involved. The end run is a foreign country could 'investigate' someone as the nudging of a dirty prosecutor come up with something that could be used as the basis of charges or search warrants. All this when the dirtbag had real evidence to pursue someone and would not normally get a warrant from the court of any type.
