"If those conducting the monitoring know they will eventually have to explain their actions, and perhaps be subject to some consequences if they habitually abuse their power,"

A more important point is that they run the risk of having any evidence or leads acquired this way to be disallowed in court.

I'm getting tired of this - people are spreading a lot of lies on an issue of national security for partisan political reasons.

Tell me where the victims are.
