Solution
The law that significantly broadened the state's surveillance capabilities is the USA PATRIOT Act. This law was passed after the September 11 attacks and it expanded the surveillance powers of the government in order to prevent terrorist activities. It allows for the collection of communication data, financial records, and other personal information without a warrant, which has been a point of contention for privacy advocates.
