The USA PATRIOT Act allows law enforcement agencies to conduct surveillance and gather intelligence without a warrant in certain circumstances, particularly regarding national security matters. This includes provisions for accessing business records and conducting surveillance of suspected terrorists. However, traditional Fourth Amendment protections still apply in many situations, and warrants are generally required for criminal investigations unrelated to national security. The Act has been controversial due to concerns over privacy and civil liberties.
