What the document says“Subparagraphs (A) and (B) shall not apply to-- ``(i) a lawfully authorized investigative, protective, or intelligence activity of-- ``(I) a law enforcement agency of the United States, a State, or a political subdivision of a State; or ``(II) an intelligence agency of the United States;”

What the document actually says“Subparagraphs (A) and (B) shall not apply to-- ``(i) a lawfully authorized investigative, protective, or intelligence activity of-- ``(I) a law enforcement agency of the United States, a State, or a political subdivision of a State; or ``(II) an intelligence agency of the United States;”
These rules do not cover police work. They do not cover spy work either.
The work must be allowed by law. The agency can be Federal, State, or local.
No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.
