Administrator Lite Posted September 9, 2007 Administrator Share Posted September 9, 2007 A US judge has ruled that the FBI cannot spy on people's internet and telephone use without a warrant.Judge Victor Marrero, of the District of Columbia, determined that the rules under the Patriot Act that allowed the FBI to secretly request telephone, internet and email logs without applying for a warrant were barred by the constitution.The Patriot Act was passed 43 days after the terrorist attacks in the US on 11 September 2001.Judge Marrero found that the practice offended constitutional principles of checks and balances, and violated the guarantee of free speech.
