Agree

No, only with a warrant showing probable cause of criminal activity

Many Democrats support requiring a warrant for metadata collection, as it balances national security with privacy concerns. For example, the USA FREEDOM Act, which was supported by many Democrats, ended the bulk collection of phone records and required a warrant for accessing specific records.
