SAFE Act
Last action on Apr 6, 2005
Summary
The Security and Freedom Enhancement (SAFE) Act of 2005 was introduced to modify several provisions of the USA PATRIOT Act to increase judicial oversight and protect individual privacy. The bill would require law enforcement to provide specific facts linking a person to a foreign power before accessing their business, medical, or library records, and it would limit "roving wiretaps" to times when a suspect is actually present at a specific location. Additionally, it would require the government to notify individuals of "sneak and peek" search warrants within seven days, replacing the previous standard of a "reasonable period."
