My data is already bought and sold by companies. But when government agencies do it, suddenly we only need to stop them. Stop this madness. It shouldn’t matter if it’s corporations or a government, why not stop the sale of people’s data?

No, no more than its illegal for a detective to use evidence seized in a raid against a thief ring, to arrest drug dealers because there was a photo of them holding big bags of cocaine with “We Love Dealing Drugs” written and autographed on the back. They’d never have a search warrant for the dealers’ house normally, but because it was robbed by someone else and the photo turned up somewhere else for them to find, it’s fair game.
