2.) how frequently does this occur, if at all?

Today our spy agencies justify their surveillance in terms of stopping terrorism and other global geo-political interests, but in August, Reuters revealed that intelligence information was being secretly funneled to authorities across the nation to help them launch criminal investigations.

Oh and since whether you have been abused by P.A. surveillance is classified you are denied “legal standing” to object.

Checks and balances is what matters whether abuse has been proven or not.
