Amendment XXVIII Section 1.

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, effects, communications, information, and other private affairs against unreasonable searches, seizures, surveillance, and invasions of privacy shall not be violated.

Neither the United States, nor any State, nor any political subdivision or instrumentality thereof, shall evade the limitations of this Constitution by directing, requesting, encouraging, compensating, contracting with, coordinating with, or otherwise causing any private person, corporation, organization, foreign government, or other non-governmental actor to collect, retain, analyze, search, monitor, or disclose information where such conduct would constitute an unreasonable search or seizure if performed directly by the government.

Information obtained in violation of this Article, and any evidence or investigative leads derived therefrom, shall not be admitted in any judicial, administrative, legislative, or executive proceeding, nor serve as the basis for warrants, arrests, prosecutions, or other governmental action.

Section 2.

Neither the United States nor any State shall acquire, purchase, license, compel, or otherwise obtain access to records, communications, location information, behavioral information, biometric information, or other personal information in bulk or through generalized or indiscriminate collection, except pursuant to standards consistent with this Constitution and directed toward identified persons, places, accounts, or things for which individualized legal justification exists.

The constitutional protections secured by this Article shall not be diminished solely because information is possessed, stored, processed, transmitted, or maintained by another person or entity.

Section 3.

Nothing in this Article shall prohibit:

(a) any person from voluntarily reporting specific observations, evidence, or firsthand knowledge of actual or suspected criminal activity;

(b) law enforcement officers from receiving such reports, interviewing witnesses, requesting voluntary cooperation, or conducting investigations otherwise consistent with this Constitution;

(c) private persons or entities from maintaining security measures for their own persons or property and voluntarily providing information relating to a particular event or investigation;

(d) disclosures otherwise required pursuant to a warrant, subpoena, court order, or other lawful process consistent with this Constitution.

Section 4.

Congress and the several States shall have power to enforce this Article by appropriate legislation consistent with its provisions.
