Dusting off the concept of ‘nullification,’ the coalition plans to push state laws to prohibit local authorities from cooperating with the NSA. Draft state-level legislation called the Fourth Amendment Protection Act would – in theory – forbid local governments from providing services to federal agencies that collect electronic data from Americans without a personalized warrant. The city of Bluffdale is reportedly charging the NSA a rate of $2.05 for every 1,000 gallons of water, significantly less than the typical rate.”
