A new report (PDF) lists violations of Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, which will expire at the end of the year unless it is renewed.

New research by the Open Tech Institute has found over 200 violations by the NSA and the FBI since the introduction of a controversial surveillance provision designed to collect foreign intelligence. Violations include over-collecting data, violating attorney-client privilege, and conducting unlawful surveillance of Americans, who are generally protected from spying under the constitution.
