Role at the time: Democratic candidate for U.S. Senate in Montana
Condemned
Statement summary
Senate candidate Alani Bankhead said she would back a warrant requirement for government access to location data and would rein in Flock-style tracking.
“I'll back the Fourth Amendment Is Not For Sale Act so the government has to get a warrant instead of buying its way around your rights, rein in Flock-style tracking, and require these companies to collect and keep the bare minimum, not a permanent file on every Montanan. If they want your data, they get a warrant. Same as it's always been.”
