Lauren Boebert Found Religion On Surveillance. Guess When.

She wants a warrant before the government can track you. She’s right. She also got that religion the exact month she found out the government had been tracking her. Funny how that works.

So here’s the bill. April 23, 2026, Lauren Boebert puts her name on the Surveillance Accountability Act as the lone cosponsor behind Thomas Massie. And it asks the government to do the almost insultingly obvious: get a warrant. From a judge. On probable cause. Before it goes digging through your life. Shut the loophole that lets the feds just buy from a data broker what the Constitution says they can’t take. Kill the warrantless face scans. Choke the license plate readers quietly clocking everywhere you drive.

It’s actually a pretty good bill. I’ll say it twice so nobody misquotes me: good bill. The data-broker dodge is a real, deliberate, years-running scam on the Fourth Amendment, and Congress has spent every one of those years looking anywhere else.

But chew on one word. Notice.
