Legislation can limit what Federal agents are allowed to do totally irrespectively of whether those things would separately violate the constitution.
- mlyle 3y agoSure, but we're not really talking about federal agents for the most part. We're talking about local police forces in states sending subpoenas to Ring.

- mlyle 3y agoFederal law's ability to enjoin local police activity is limited. And in any case: the law is a blunt instrument. It's (usually) better as a slowly changing representation of conventions and social consensus instead of something that we make sweeping changes in (whether legislatively or judicially).
